Well....why didn't Harry give Ron the money?? Ron's his best friend, he
knows he needs money for things. He knows how frustrated Ron is of
hand-me-downs, etc. Ron is always (well except for a huge part of GoF) there
for him, helped him get on his feet in the WW, etc. He owes Ron a lot. And
he just disses him like that. You would think at least he would give the
twin's the money Ludo owed them and the balance to Ron. Is our little Harry
harboring angst toward Ron still?? Hmmmm...

Me:
Ron wants the money, but he's still a proud kid. He doesn't want Harry's pity, and Harry giving him money would translate into that. It's easier for things to come, 1) as objects instead of money, and 2) from family, despite how close your friend is. This way, Ron's pride is not hurt in any way.
