Speaking Of Money - Harry's

While there is talk of how the Malfoy's made their money, I remember reading somewhere (of course I've forgot) there was a question how James made his money, considering he spent some time in hiding.  It was suggested that he was independently wealthy, and all went to Harry. Which would make Harry a very rich young man.  But wouldn't the money earned interest sitting all those years in Gringotts?

Yet, Harry had to remind himself that he couldn't get the Firebolt and several items.  He had 5 more years to go at Hogwarts.  Maybe Harry didn't realize how well off he was?  I'm assuming Harry was in sole control of his money.  If that was the case, he was very frugal.  While they were on the summer long camping trip in DH, would Harry would have thought to bring along some money, be it muggle or wizarding.

I know.  I'm sure this has already been discussed before, but again I'm very new to these discussions.  I just joined in the middle of DH reading - the first time.

Lots of questions.
