Except that Ron didn't get to really buy them! He expected Fred&George 
to *give* them to him... just because he's their brother. (Fred was 
willing to cut off a Knut for him, but...) And Ron *can't* have asked 
his parents because Molly definately would not approve (although it is 
possible F&G sent him that stuff in March for a birthday-present - 
unless they took part in paying for the watch). Ginny wanting a pet is 
quite another matter. I loved the way F&G refuse to accept coin from 
Harry (due to that startup loan) but insist on having payment from 
Ron... and then outright refuse to sell certain stuff to Ginny...

I think those shield-clothes could be a real advantage as well. As for 
now, Harry has *plenty* of places where he can go to from the Dursleys. 
Up a jokeshop with F&G, the Burrow, GP 12... and maybe the GH can be 
repaired.. and where was Sirius' other apartment? Not to mention that 
he has plenty of cash to rent a room from Leaky Cauldron...
