Susanne:
So, I emphasize with Ron and his way of trying to talk down
his stuff before someone else does!

Me:
You know you're probably right. Sort of a defense mechanism to keep 
any teasing from hurting his feelings. Then again, from the looks of 
the way things are at HW, nobody except Malfoy & Co. make a big deal 
out of it. It is a phase I think. When you're that age kids flip if 
you have 2nd hand stuff or shop at Walmart or whatever. He will 
definately grow out of it (I'd place my bet on *this* coming year of 
HW! Do I have any takers?) if not soon, then by the time he's making 
his own money. His priorities will be different then. He won't care 
about shopping 2nd hand or at the Walmart of the WW, if it means he 
gets to eat that week or pay his rent on time. (Considering he does 
move out unlike Percy).
