    They both crashed the family car and Harry offered nothing to fix it.

      Give Harry a break, he was like 13 and raised by the Dursley’s. I don’t think they taught him “if you have a giant pile of money, be sure to help out your friends when they need it”.

      And I dont think Molly would have let him, the Wesley’s always made do on their own. Harry (a kid) helping out would put quite a stain on their pride.

      Also, not sure they knew how rich he was. Sure he bought all the stuff on the trolley, but that’s like giving a kid $50 for their birthday, not a bank full of your parents’ life savings.

        They knew:

        Harry enjoyed the breakneck journey down to the Weasleys’ vault, but felt dreadful, far worse than he had in Knockturn Alley, when it was opened. There was a very small pile of silver Sickles inside, and just one gold Galleon. Mrs Weasley felt right into the corners before sweeping the whole lot into her bag. Harry felt even worse when they reached his vault. He tried to block the contents from view as he hastily shoved handfuls of coins into a leather bag.

        I think Molly also withdrew money on Harry’s behalf on at least one occasion.

        And I dont think Molly would have let him, the Wesley’s always made do on their own. Harry (a kid) helping out would put quite a stain on their pride.

        Yeah, very much this:

        ‘Well, they’re OK!’ said Ron angrily, looking at Harry’s robes. ‘Why couldn’t I have some like that?’
        ‘Because … well, I had to get yours second-hand, and there wasn’t a lot of choice!’ said Mrs Weasley, flushing.
        Harry looked away. He would willingly have split all the money in his Gringotts vault with the Weasleys, but he knew they would never take it.

              I wasn’t sure if it was page number or chapter.

              Thank you.

      And they were in the car in the first place because Ron was helping Harry get to school.
