IMO, there are certain things we need to keep in mind in regards to 
this issue.  First all, Harry's robes were purchased with Harry's 
money.  Molly picked the best she could find for the money she had.  
As we all know, Harry has enough money to buy first-rate items.  He 
is not having to split his inheritance with four other siblings ( I 
am not counting Bill or Charlie in this equation because they are 
self-sufficient adults at this point).  Molly takes a defensive tone 
with Ron because he has put her on the defensive.  Harry never has 
crossed Molly-at least not verbally.  Like so many times before, we 
the readers are not privy to every nook and cranny of Molly's 
relationship with her children.  I believe in someone's post, they 
stated no one is perfect.  I agree.  Something just came to mind, in 
GoF, when Dumbledore is deploying his troops-so to speak-as Bill was 
leaving to carry a message to his father-he stops to kiss his 
mother.  Obviously,IMO, Bill harbors no deep-seated resentment 
against his mother and when Ron grows up a little-these issues 
concerning clothes and such will be forgotten.  IMO, what will be 
remembered concerning his parents by Ron is the fact that his parents 
did the best they could with what they had.
