<big snip, so sorry>You have to ask yourself why Molly would have 
said that's everyone in the family unless Molly isn't the twin's 
biological mother. Then her statement would be correct, and 
understandable. The twins aren't neighbors but they could be 
Prewett's. I am not sure how Molly was related to the two Prewett 
brothers (OOP pg. 174) Gideon and Fabian, but when they were killed 
in the first war one of the two may have left three-year old orphan 
twins behind that Molly and Arthur raised as their own. <another 
snip> I have a feeling the twins are going to learn that they are 
Prewetts in book six and Molly's fear of them attempting to avenge 
their fathers death will become reality. 

Kneazelkid:
I feel compelled to point out that many of the characters in the 
series are named for or based on mythological people and beasts 
(Fluffy = Cerebus; Lupin = Remus from Romulus and Remus; In 
mythology centaurs can tell the future, many of Sirius' family are 
named for soem of the brightests stars in our sky, etc). I was 
thinking about the twins last night while looking at constellations 
and thought about the Gemini constellation. One of the Gemini twin 
brothers was killed and the other was so miserable he didn't want to 
go on living. Then I thought, "Arrg! Not the Weasley twins!" 
Making matters more grim, many of the side characters in the series 
have their identity based on myths and since I can't figure out a 
blatant mythological character for them to be named after (what I 
mean is, they aren't NAMED for anyone or after anything -- although 
we can trace meaning for Dumbledore's, McGonagall's, Molly's and 
Hagrid's names), what if they just share the fate of mytholigical 
characters of the Gemini?

Kneazelkid -- Who thinks she has hit something but fears that she 
will soon receive many e-mails saying "We've done this before!"
