Actually, I think the problem was that her siblings wouldn't let her
practice in "THEIR" precious brooms. My older sister, too, was very jealous
of her stuff, even when they weren't particularly important for her or when
she knew I wouldn't destroy any of it. I did the same thing then - use her
stuff without anyone knowing, not even my mother, because I was afraid she
wouldn't aprove of it... that or try to make my sister lend me her things,
which would make my sister ferociously angry. It was a means of avoiding
problems. And I suppose Ginny would try to keep her parents from spending
money on yet another broom for her - I know I let go from many things
because I'd feel guilty about making my parents spend money on them,
principally when they were always stressing over money already.
