I've never seen the twins as bullies, because I feel that one important 
aspect of bullying is missing- malicious intent. They're mischevious, 
devious, sneaky, occasionally out of hand, and often over the top, but I 
have yet to identify maliciousness.
It's like the difference between trickster gods. Coyote (or even Ananzi the 
Spider) is a trickster, and is always playing jokes on people. Sometimes 
ones that cause more damage or hurt than was intended. Loki, on the other 
hand is a trickster god, too, but his tricks are all designed for maximum 
misery.
Fred and George are Coyotes, "heehee, lets see what this does". Draco and 
his cronies are Lokis, "heehee, let see how badly we can hurt someone".
