Well, after lurking for awhile I find that I must sally forth and 
defend the twins.  I think the twins are funny.  Most of what they 
have done is just a joke, no harm intended.  Over the top and 
sometimes tasteless but just a joke.  I also found Arthurs story 
about the sugar tongs clamped to the nose of a muggle funny.  Do none 
of you watch Monty Python.  One point I must make, they did 
not "Sneer at Draco"  the line was "Contemptuous glance," they are 
very different statements.  When they told Harry about Draco's 
reaction on the train, they spoke quitely and calmly.  They do not 
shout it to the rest of the school or put on a performance of the 
event.  They even admit that they where uncomfortable with the 
event.  All they where trying to do was make Harry feel better, not 
make Draco look bad.  The scene at the end of GoF seems to have 
everyone in a twist.  Yes they did hex Draco in the back while he was 
unarmed.  Of couse, he had just threatened Harry, Ron and Hermione 
and also the Weasley family.  He is also gloating over the death of a 
class mate.  And let us be fair.  They had no way of knowing that 
Draco & Co. where unarmed.  Let us not forget that Draco had already 
tried to Hex Harry in the back as well as unarmed.  I think they 
showed restraint, if it had been me Draco and his lackies would have 
had to walk back to London.  AS for Dudders lets be real.  This 
listing seems to make more of his weight than anyone in the story.  
JKR uses Duddley's size as a outward sign of his person.  He is a 
greedy person in all aspects of his life.  The TTT thing was just a 
joke.  No one forced Duddley to eat the candy.  And knowing F & G I'm 
sure the effect would have worn off on it's own, with no lasting 
harm.  I belive the F&G will stand with both feet firmly on the side 
of good in the battle to come.  One has to admit it would be funny to 
see Voldemort taking on Harry with a rubber fish.  Freya
