I've always thought that the Weasleys ARE poor BECAUSE they have to 
pay tuition for so many children!  After all, Arthur is the head of a 
department at the MoM (albeit a very small department) so his salary 
can't be THAT bad.  I've just always thought that most of his salary 
gets swallowed up paying Hogwarts tuition for their large brood.

college tuitions needed to be paid
