Why buy Ron maroon?

"So, I think there's a subconscious 
pleasure for Molly in being able to indulge herself with Harry's 
dress robes and not worry about what the family will have to go 
without to afford them.  So Ron's entitled to some feeling of being 
miffed- but not much."

DuffyPoo:
Are you saying that Molly used Weasley family money to buy Harry's robes?  I never got that impression at all.  I imagined she went to Gringotts and got money from Harry's vault to buy his things (or maybe he had enough left in his moneybag from last year).  If she indulged Harry, then bought second hand for Ron, Ron has every reason to be miffed and it would totally change my impression of Molly.
