>From the Sorcerer's Stone:

"Christmas was coming.  One morning in December, Hogwarts woke to find
itself covered in several feet of snow.  The lake froze solid and the
Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they
followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban."

The first time I read this, not knowing just what was under that turban, I
thought to myself "pretty gutsy" to be doing that to a teacher...and  did
they get a Howler for that one.  Later, I began to wonder if Voldemort  knew
it was the Fred & George who was pelting him in the face with snowballs
since the twins were later punished for it. If Quirrell knew it was the
Weasley twins when they were punished, then Voldemort would know it too.
Voldemort doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would shrug that kind of
thing off.
