Why I dislike the twins

I have been reading virtually all the messages concerning the twin's 
behavior and quite honestly I do not understand all the controversy.  
When I read books 1-4, I honestly did not pay that much attention to 
the twins antics-unless in some way it directly affected Harry-such 
as the Toffee incident or the incident on the train concerning Malfoy 
in book 4.  But even then I viewed them very simply as revenge-
oriented pranks that did not effect the main plot significantly.  
Perhaps, I am simply not understanding how the twins behavior has or 
will have in the future any long-term effects on Harry's safety or 
the ultimate defeat of Voldemort.  I have learned as a reader to 
discern what points are significant in any given fiction and which 
are merely  what I call "fill-ins" or "distractions" that allow the 
reader to relax his brain.  I view the HP series as being mystery 
novels-in that we are given certain clues-some obvious foreshadowings-
some harder to decipher.  I will readily admit that I do overlook 
clues and am suprised when they are pointed out.  So I guess what I 
am saying here is if someone has come up with any significant way in 
which the twins behavior may effect the HP series in the long run-
please let me know.
