They can't be twins unless you think jkr has lied about their birthdates. 

She's said that Hermione's is September 19, 1980 and that Harry's is July 31, 1980. While it's possible for twins to have different birthdates - I know a pair who were born 6 minutes apart, but on different days - it seems incredibly farfetched to have twins born 6 weeks apart - it would also make Harry at least 6 weeks premature, which isn't a healthy thing for babies, or at least it wasn't in 1980, compared to now. 

So, I'd say intriguing theory, but likely canon-barred.
