Brilliant! I think Hermione comes up with the plan, Ron tells his Dad 
he needs the money - and as Arthur himself said in HBP, half his family 
owe their lives to Harry Potter. He wouldn't ask too many questions. 
Besides, it's entirely possible that at least one of Voldemort's 
Horcruxes may already have been confiscated.

All sorts of cursed items like Sonnets of the Sorcerer, a book that 
burns your eyes out... I certainly hope Hermione will be *careful* here 
or she may end up with a cursed book or something...

Oh, and another matter - Harry may send Dobby/Kreacher to find items in 
rich houses. No one pays a mind to a house-elf, after all... Oh, I wish 
I could read Book 7 already!
