In DH on Harry's 17th b'day, Molly Weasley tells Harry his present's on top. He opens it and it's the old beat up watch. Molly says it's
tradition to give a wizard a watch on their 17th, when they become of
age, and starts to apologize for it not being new like Ron's. It's
actually a a very touching moment, between what she says, and the hug
Harry gives her as thanks. In that moment they seem to acknowledge that he is as much a son as Molly's others, and she and Arthur Harry's
adopted parents.
