The penniless thing is so damn weird. Um...two people in their early 20s died and it's wrong to think that maybe they didn't have pots of gold stashed up yet? Wouldn't most parents do that? The only reason they didn't was because James was one of those Malfoy-type Purebloods with a fortune in the bank (like Neville). I thought being Pureblooded and penniless was a mark of honor for the Weasleys?
I wonder what Lupin would have made of that line.
Of course, one also wonders about Hagrid's own fortune. Did his mom leave him a pile of femurs and stone flakes for cutting?
Harry's just too macho for all this effeminate bitchery. When Ron tells him about Mad Eye Moody later, I remain assured he'll bitchslap him and tell him that you don't judge someone until you know them personally. Yup. Any time.
It's only gossip if it makes you feel weird for liking the person, which happens in Hagrid's case because the gossip is true.
