Jesta mentioned:
Ron is the only Weasley we see fret openly or get weird about money - 
has anyone else noticed this?

Leah (me ) replies:
I don't think we can really know how much the other Weasleys complain 
about their situation.  I think we get an especially close look at 
Ron because of his relationship with Harry.  If Ginny were part of 
the trio (yes, I know, then it would be a quartet
 ;-D) we may hear 
that she thinks: "everything I have [is] rubbish" (Ron GoF).  We also 
know that she confided to Diary!Tom about the state of her secondhand 
things.  I don't believe that Ron is any whinier than the others, 
but, as readers, we just have a more personal relationship with Ron, 
so we hear more of his private misgivings.
