On the other hand, after visiting both Harry’s trust vault and a high-security Hogwarts vault, he did allow Harry to change some of his wizard gold to Muggle pounds at the bank (Harry had haggled with the goblins—oh, yes, the bank was run by goblins!—over the exchange rate), and at the robe shop, he’d picked up some dark grey casual robes in addition to his black school ones. Wizarding fashion seemed to favor some outlandish colors, but he suspected grey would still fade into the background, just as his friend Ellie had taught him. And Hagrid had even bought Harry an owl. The still-unnamed bird had beautiful snowy-white plumage; after checking with Hagrid, Harry had let her out of her cage to fly to Little Whinging herself, something he got the distinct impression she appreciated.
