Why would Fred, George and Ginny blame Harry?

If you look at the wording, specifically the use of the 
word "fancied", I think JKR meant to imply a feeling of guilt by 
Harry. At this point Harry hasn't come to understand what has 
happened and is feeling that he may be responsible for what happened.
Thus Harry feels guilty and most people who feel guilty especially 
extreme guilt, as I imagine he would considering his relationship 
with the Weasleys, you think everyone knows what you've done. It's 
his imagination influenced by guilt.
