except Molly and Percy (Harry included) laughed at the twins'
Humongous Bighead joke.  But later, when the twins show Harry the Head
Boy badge that they had "improved" to read "Bighead Boy" the text
states that Harry's laugh was forced.  But a phrase like this is easy
to miss, especially when OOP states explicitly that Harry liked Percy
less than the rest of the Weasleys. 

Carol:
Harry's laugh is forced because he has something much more significant
on his mind--he's just heard Molly and Arthur saying that Sirius Black
wants to murder him. The twins' mischief, which he might have thought
funny an hour before, is revealed as insignificant, immature nonsense
by this incident--at least to the reader. I don't think Harry's view
of them is altered by it at all. He still likes the twins--and ends up
giving them his winnings from the Tri-Wizard Tournament to start their
joke shop.

Carol, who hopes we'll see the twins grow up a little now that they're
out of Hogwarts
