I wonder if, because Arthur Weasley is an employee at the
Ministry of Magic, he gets a break on his tuition, or if,
perhaps, the Ministry has an educational fund thing where for
each galleon Mr. Weasley contributes toward his children's
education, they'll match it.  I mean, you'd think that they'd
want Hogwarts graduates for their future employees, and this
would be a way to encourage multi-generations working there...
My husband's employer has a thing where you contribute that way
and it's slowly accumlating $$$ for my daughter's future college
education.

Also, perhaps there are scholarships available too...
