See message #113351 for additional information(my posting on "Arthur 
and Molly's Powers")

In COS we learn that Ginny did not like coming to school in second 
hand robes.  So it is not just Ron that is singled out for second 
hand items.

Ron did get a new wand and the Cleensweep 7 when he became a 
perfect.  IMO the only Weasly child who may have gotten new items was 
Bill.  Even those may have been bought at the second hand store.

I can see Molly assigning her kids "colors" for the items she knits.  
As a person who used to make a lot of gifts.  A personal example is 
that my son loved green when he was small, today I almost bought 
green towels for his new apartment until I looked at my shopping list 
and realized his bathroom is blue, grey & purple.  I can give many 
examples of gravitating toward a certain color for the members of my 
family.

Does Ron really hate Maroon or is he just tired of it? 

Molly does remember Ron does not like corned beef sandwiches in POA.
