Not All Weasley's are Weasley's

 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?

 Snow again:
I'm sorry but I dont understand your reply to my post? The main idea 
 was that the Weasley twins are really the Prewett twins. As far as 
the names representation, along with my theory, I have one:
 Fred and George Prewett...F&G... and Fabian and Gideon 
Prewett...F&G.

Kneazelkid again:
No need to apoligize -- I'm afraid I wans't clear because I was too 
excited. What I should have said was:
Snow, that is a very interesting idea! It does seem that Molly is 
always forgetting that the twins are in the family. As far as your 
theory that the one or both of the twins will die, I had a similar 
theory once I started thinking about the names of everyone in the 
series. 
Many of them are named by JKR after mytholigical and astronomical 
characters (see above). I was wondering why the twins don't seem to 
be named for anyone in mythology (although a recent poster whose 
name escapes me has some theories) and then I wondered if they are 
perhaps created after the Gemini twins (who are a constelation). 
According to mythology, one of the Gemini twins died (in a war, I 
believe)and the other was so miserable without his brother that he 
didn't want to go on living. I wonder if perhaps JKR was thinking of 
the Gemini twins when she created Fred and George and if they will 
be destined to a similar fate.
Was that more clear?

Kneazelkid -- who gets a little ahead of herself when she is excited 
about an idea.
