I'm sorry but this doesn't really make sense to me. Why would she 
*want* him to go naked? Ron could risk getting in trouble at school 
for doing that. As for the fringes and lace, I see it more as a 
lesson. Don't get me wrong I DO NOT mean a punishment just a lesson 
that you are not always going to have a lot of money and that you 
need to learn how to deal with what you have. The Weasleys obviously 
don't have a lot of money (though this does make them wallowing in 
poverty) and he has grown up with this all of his life, Molly 
probably just wanted to use this to help him grow up a little as we 
all know without arguement that Ron is a *little* immature. This 
could be a way for her to held nudge him up the maturity ladder. If 
she constantly was fixing his robes everytime they needed to be fixed 
he would become spoiled and stay immature. Another valid point is 
that Molly was prehaps just not thinking about it. She is a very busy 
woman and fixing her sons "inadequate" dress robes may not be her 
number one priority.
