Iirc in the actual lore (not the movies) McGonagall somehow gets access to Harry's Gringotts vault and takes the money for the broom from there. So it's not exactly a gift.
I didn't remember that! Is that actually in the book, or is that some expanded lore thing?
Just recently reread the first book, it's never explained. McGonagall talks to Gryffindor's team captain about what broom they should get for Harry.
Maybe through Hagrid. He seemed to have access.
