So far, unless Harry is so grateful for the love shown to
him, that he doesn't notice Ron's expressions during those
moments, so consequently, we don't hear about them <g>.

I do think Molly could show a bit more sensitivity with the
clothes issue. Just little things that other people have
already mentioned in their posts.

I also think, while Ron shows some jealousy toward Harry,
he's, in my opinion, amazingly non-jealous for a long time
about many things, or at least doesn't show his jealousy.

I don't know if I could have done it.

In fact, when reading the first book for the first time, I
was thinking "enough already" more than once, when one thing
after another fell into Harry's lap.

Yes, he's had a horrible life, but this *is* like an abused
kids fantasy come true, minus the Voldemort issue, of course
<g>.

All of a sudden finding out you're rich, famous, have
amazing powers (stronger than your peers), getting gifts and
attention left and right, become the youngest seeker in a
century...
It's almost too much.

And it continues throughout the other books.

Harry may not *want* these things, but I'm sure Ron is not
the only one who is jealous.
