Finwitch (me): 
Still, Harry's experience of anonymous gift (the Firebolt) that was 
from his godfather - remember how Hermione reacted? "Must check it 
out, it could be jinxed". If something (like 1000 galleons) suddenly 
appeared into Weasley Vault, Molly at least would be suspicious of 
the money being made into portkey or something, particularly as 
Voldemort has returned...  Why scare them off?

Carrie:
 
> How does the Money affect Ron when he finds out about it though? 
Will Ron just not care? Will the twins be able to hide the money? I 
am sure it will be suspicious when they give him new robes and 
whatever else. Will he be jealous of the twins money before he finds 
out Harry gave it to them? Maybe he never will and this is just a way 
for JKR to get money to the twins so they can invent something for 
the next book.

I don't see how Ron would find out. It just isn't in the twins 
character (as I see it) to tell and Harry won't - and no one else 
knows, not even Rita Skeeter.

And um.. Ron just wouldn't understand why anyone would want to get 
rid of a big load money with nothing in return. Of course Harry 
doesn't ask *him*. Hermione might understand, but if Harry consults 
her without Ron, then Ron would really be left out.

And of course Ron would be suspicious, but his brothers *know* how to 
handle that. Something like...

Ron: "Where did you get the money?"
Twin1: "We try to give our little brother something nice..."
Twin2: "... and he accuses us of stealing. So ungrateful of him"

Or something. You know how the Weasley twins are...
