Sherrie here:

Ron and maroon has always reminded me of me and pink.  (It's one of the few 
sympathies I have with Ron, actually - on the whole, I dislike him immensely.)  
When I was growing up, my mother had this "you're a girl, you'll wear pink, 
sleep in a pink room, &c." thing - despite the fact that I was a pale-skinned 
towhead, who looked TERRIBLE in pink.  Didn't matter - I got pink.  Didn't 
matter how much I complained - I got pink.  It took my mom nearly forty years to 
figure out that I never WORE any of the pink clothes she bought me...  Had she 
paid attention to what I actually DID wear (and what I bought for myself with 
my allowance), she'd have KNOWN my favorite color was black - she just didn't 
pay attention.

As for the dress robes scene, I think both of them were at fault.  Ron is 
whiny - but Molly COULD have taken five minutes to say, "Look, this is the best I 
could do - let's see what WE can do to fix it", rather than tap-dancing 
around it.

(And yes, I'm from a family of five - the eldest.)
