Maybe the point is that you can't tell them apart? 
Your looking to find a reason for their character depth by looking 
for a difference, however it could be that the fact that they are so 
much the same that gives them if not depth then prehaps use in plot 
terms. Because here you have to characters that are essentially the 
same - this makes one of them a 'spare' in a sense. Meaning that you 
can get rid of one of them without getting rid of an entire character.
This is one of the reasons I feel that maybe one of the twims will 
die. They are all to often getting into trouble and doing dangerous 
things for fun e.g. in PS Hagird says he'spent a lot of time keeping 
the twins out of the forbidden forest, but it is dangerous doing this 
although they don't seem to care or prehaps they think their too 
smart to end upihn serious trouble?
It seems to me that the Weasley family as a whole were lucky the 
first time voldemort was around (I would have thought we would have 
heard by now of any serious death in the family due to Voldemort by 
now) So they were lucky that time but the odds of such a big family 
being so lucky the second time around are not good. My bets are on 
either the one of the twins or percy getting it.
I say percy because he seems to stick out like a sore thumb against 
the rest of the Weasley kids. Also has anyone else noticed that while 
there seems to be small gaps in age between most of the Weasley kids 
(1 or 2 school years) by my calculations (going on the fact that 
Charlie seemingly left hogwarts 5 years before Ron started) Percy is 
about 8 years younger than Charlie - why such the huge gap? It seems 
to make Percy stand out even more.
