Well, to be fair when Fred turned Ron's bear into a spider Ron was 
three so Fred was probably about five or six and may not have been in 
full control of his magical abilities at the time. When do those kick 
in you think?

I think Fred and George are just the gregarious results of growing up 
with a house full of brothers to compete with. They pick on Percy 
because he's a stuck-up prig and they have a natural ally in each 
other. They are also teenagers who still have a lot of growing up to 
do And who knows what Charlie and Bill were like in their Hogwarts's 
days.Plus the Weasley twins have that certain I don't know what that 
helps them get away with murder and that can take you a long way in 
the world. Look at Bill Clinton.
