Now.. Twins & Ron see Percy as "too much of himself" - and all that.
It's not like Percy would never wish to tease his younger siblings.
It's just that he's chosen to annoy his brothers by using cultivated,
school standard speech and extremely calm tone, repeating the words of
their teachers etc. I recall doing that sort with my little sister -
using standardised school-like teacher-language *because* it annoyed
her. Just thought Percy might have done the same with the twins/Ron.
Twins respond with pranks. Ron complains.
And Twins - well they're the good-kind of pranksters. They live to
make people laugh. They can also laugh at themselves (the beards) -
and can't see why some people can't do the same. They and Percy are
having sibling-fight: Nothing serious, really. Twins play pranks,
Percy responds by maliticiously following rules (including grammar),
and by refusing to laugh/get angry. The twins target on Percy because
he hasn't reacted yet (except by telling them off) - they want to see
if Percy has emotions.
And when it comes to Ron/Molly - she does care of Ron and others. It's
just that Ron tends to complain about things he loves the most -
except when it's *his* before anyone else or still new.
The corned meat... She's making sandwiches for four kids getting on
train, one that stays at home, husband going to work and herself. She
just made everyone the *same* kind of sandwich. Besides, that's the
kind of meat that stays good for longest... It may well be that their
fridge was near empty and she was going shopping after Ron & others
left for Hogwarts... She took special care in Book#4 about Ron's food.
To compensate about the dress robe, perhaps?
Percy got a reward for becoming a prefect, Ron got a reward for saving
Ginny (his new wand)... Ron says he wants to be a celebrity, but I'm
not buying it. He'd be complaining just as much if he were, he'd just
choose other things to complain about.
