JKR said in her web site under Extra stuff about the Weasley's:
Before her marriage Mrs. Weasley was Molly Prewett. As you will note
from chapter one, Philosopher's Stone, she has lost close family
members to Voldemort.
I have been unable to find such referencing in the Sorcerer's Stone
version and would very much like to know what is quoted in
Philosopher's Stone version about this statement. The relevance to my
theory that Molly had "close" family members who died would allow for
such an undertaking by Molly to adopt the twins as her own. It would
also make the two conversations of the twins and Molly's much more
understandable.

You know, Molly's comment about "that's everyone in the family," has 
always bothered me.  Even though I have to admit my own mother has 
said silly things like that.  I just don't think that JKR would have 
included these comments for no reason.

You're idea that they could be the children of one of the Prewett 
clan is good.  Isn't there an unusual gap between all the kids ages? 
(I could've sworn that I heard somewhere the theory of the missing 
Weasley child?) There gap in ages could just be that some of the 
children are adopted.  And not telling the twins that they are 
adopted would be for their own safety as well. 

I always wondered why the Weasley's weren't involved with the first 
LV war.  I often wondered if DD wasn't trying to keep them safe.  
Since JKR has mentioned that some of the Hogwarts staff are married, 
I've often wondered if the twins belonged to a widowed DD who sent 
them to live with Arthur's family for their own safety.
