Imperius Curse. Hmm... Well, he could have worked most of them 
(except that Arthur was at work and obsessed with Muggle devices; 
Bill&Charlie being abroad). Working Percy to be *obedient* of rules 
and feeding his ambitions (I suppose it's hard to resist Imperius on 
something you actually think you should do).

Fred&George... I think Pettigrew *told* them how to operate the map, 
thus bribing them not to tell who he really was...

Ron-- Perhaps. By doing absolutely nothing, thus being a lowsy pet, 
putting him under imperius and thus instruct him with his mind...

Ginny? A suggestion NOT to tell McGonagall about the Odd Book but to 
use it instead...
