Sorry about taht, my brain took a mini-vacation.

But again, I don't see how that's a slight to Ron.  To
me, Mrs. Weasley just seems to be carrying on two
conversations at once.  One with Harry, one with Ron. 
She's pleasant and friendly to Harry because he's
pleasant and friendly to her.

She's annoyed with Ron because she's defensive.  She
wishes he could have better rombes too, but they
*can't afford it*.  And nothing is going to change
that.  Dress robes are likely very expensive. 
Sometimes kids can make you feel very guilty, and
that's what Ron did.  He didn't mean to, of course,
but he did.  She's doing the best she can, and he's
jumping on her because it's not good enough.  It
hurts.  She could have reacted better, but she's
human.  HP is full of imperfect characters, Molly
Weasley among them.  But imperfect doesn't mean bad.
