Dharma:

You are both on to interesting ideas here.  Initially to me, it 
seemed too risky for the twins to have Ginny with them while getting 
into serious shenanigans. I'm now questioning my initial reaction 
because, I remembered a few things from book 5.
 
In OotP Ginny says, "The thing about growing up with Fred and George, 
is that you sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got 
enough nerve."

Has Ginny been involved in something with the twins that goes beyond 
jokes, Canary Creams and Nosebleed Nougat?  Have they taken any 
substantial risks that Ginny knows of, other than testing their 
Wizard Wheezes products?  The choice of the word `nerve' is striking 
to me.     

Also, George says to Harry during his first visit to Grimauld 
place, "Yeah, size is not guarantee of power.  Look at Ginny."  Then 
George completes this thought with, "You've never been on the 
receiving end of one of her Bat-Bogey hexes, have you?"  

Where would Fred and George encounter Ginny using that hex?  Is the 
Burrow shielded from magic detection, or has she been getting into 
things that only Fred and George know about away from home?  

Could she have turned to the twins for tutelage at Hogwarts?  Given 
that Ron often treated her as nuisance and Percy was so stringent, 
maybe the twins took up the task of looking after her and offering 
her advice.

In my opinion, she could be more involved with the twins and by proxy 
their schemes, than it appears at first glance.  Since Harry's 
knowledge of Ginny comes primarily through Ron and Hermione, we are 
probably missing quite a bit of information.  It is only in the last 
book that Ginny has started to speak directly to Harry, thus limiting 
our information as well.
