I agree with the rest of you theory, but this timeline doesn't make 
sense.  Peter went rat a day after James and Lily were killed.

JKR said Ron was born on March 1 so he would have been 20 months 
old.  Given Angelina's birthday, even Ginny would have had to be at 
least 2 weeks old at the time to be just one school year behind 
Harry.  The twins would have been toddlers.

It doesn't really matter though.  At 5, Percy would have been the 
prime target.  The twins would have been too young to convince their 
parents to let them have a pet.  Besides, they probably would have 
tried to make him explode.
