I agree, Fred and George are mischeivous but they do have a "softer" 
side. Fred and George were the ones who lead Ginny into the woods 
during the Dark Mark thing in GoF. Fred and George attempted to send 
Harry a toilet seat during Harry's hospitalization in SS/PS. 

Another thing is that they have wonderfully analytical minds! They 
figured out how to use the Marauder's Map. They developed all those 
joke wands and candies. No wonder Molly is upset with them: they have 
the smarts but they don't use it for academics. I think their World 
Cup prediction is a result of their analytical thought processes. 
They were probably able to work out the most likely scenarios of the 
match by examining the strengths and weaknesses of both teams.
