OK, so the Daily Prophet gets things wrong.  Especially if they are 
written by Rita Skeeter.  But COULD Ms. Skeeter have not been there 
for the story and was just relaying it, and heard Mr. Weasley was 
involved, but automatically assumed it was Arthur's twin brother 
Arnold?  I mean, twins do run in families.  Maybe the twin brother 
Arnold is an unmentionable, and stays out of sight, but every other 
wizard of any importance would know there was a Weasley set of 
twins.  Right??
