I don't think that it's beyond the bounds of possibility for #fred 
and George to become significant players in the war against Voldemort 
and the death eaters.  I think they may become aurors behind the 
facade of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.  Before anyone jumps in to say 
that they do not, having left school earlier than planned, have the 
required number of NEWTS (or OWL for that matter), remember that 
these are strange and difficult times coming up, and that they seemed 
to be despersate to join the order in Book 5.  I see their fathers 
position at the ministry becoming stronger and his being able to use 
his influence both at the ministry and as part of the order to help 
them be trained. Both Fred and George have displayed a remarkable 
aptitude for being good at stuff that interests them - I don't think 
their lack of formal qualifications will or should necessarily hold 
them back in this instance.
