What, waste a perfectly good wand? This is a woman who
has been wearing the same moth-eaten fox fur and
vulture-topped hat probably for decades. She paid good
money for that wand and expects to get her money's
worth, since her poor son is not able to use it
himself. That wand was good enough for dear Frank and
it will be good enough for his son.

Besides, I bet anything (although with no actual
evidence at all) that Mrs. Longbottom senior isn't
really all that well off - an excellent and
influential old wizarding family with lots of property
and family heirlooms and probably not much cash, and
does the WW have an equivalent to the National Health,
or does she have to pay for Frank and Alice's upkeep
at St. Mungo's?
