  < 6. Wizard Wheezes:  I'm sure the twins used magic illegally to develop
  Ton-Tongue Toffees and Canary Cremes.  They didn't get in trouble
  because A)if someone was monitoring magic use, there were no Muggles
  nearby and any magic being done at The Burrow could be assumed to be
  done by adults and B) no one told on them.  If you read the Ministry
  letter Harry received in CoS, it clearly states they had been
  *informed* of a Hover Charm being used.  Clearly, Dobby -- who has his
  own brand of magic -- used a simple charm Harry could know and then
  made sure the Ministry knew.

  I've posted this recently, but my theory on this is that after the O.W.L.s
are taken, some magic is allowed because they will have passed at least some
level to no longer be fully considered "underage" wizards. In this light,
Fred and George would have been allowed to do magic at home since they
passed at the end of the previous school year(although with fewer O.W.L.s
then their mother would have liked)

  This is of course JMHO
