As a side note, I think JKR has characterized the twins very well. If
you've ever known a set of twins, you know she is dead on in relating
their personalities. Usually one is more out going than the other,
which leaves the second one to be more introspective.

It's almost like one twin is a 'right brain' person and the other is a
'left brain' person. This is also reflected in the fact that with
twin, frequently one is right handed and the other is left handed.
This would also imply dominant brain hemisphere.

Fred is obviously more out going and implusive. He tends to be
self-centered which doesn't necessarily mean he is uncaring.  Where as
George tends to be thoughtful, analytical, and shows concern for others. 

I have twin sisters and this is not too far off. One is out going and
carefree and the other tends to be introspective and somewhat nervious.

So my point is, I think she (JKR) is capturing the differences between
twin very nicely.
