Right! I'm rereading PofA and Molly gave them sandwiches on the 
Hogwart's Express, "Here you are Ron... No, They're not corned beef"

I personally admire Molly. It takes A LOT OF WORK to raise 7 
children, even with magic! PLUS she is so caring and accepting to 
Harry and Hermione, even before Harry saved Ginny.

How few women would knit an extra sweater or bake extra meat pies for 
a friend of her children? Plus it's no small thing having a tenage 
boy houseguest for 2 weeks!

I'm guessing the dress robes and second-hand books were the best she 
could do providing for her last two children. Noone enjoys buying 
secondhand. It's a necessity!

(Personally I'm last of 6 kids and had hand-me-downs way too often. I 
see my divorced sister trying to raise 3 kids and wonder how Molly 
does it with 7!)
