Actually talking of that. If the weasley's are so broke - why hasn't Molly
gone out to work now all her kids are at Hogwarts? I mean with only her and
Arthur in the house during the term time and with magic at her disposal,
exactly what does she *do* during the day? Obviously now she could be doing
OoP stuff, but the order wasn't reformed till after GoF, so that's three
years of very little to do.
