Ron=DD?

The Ron=DD theory has always fascinated me. The questions over the fact of 
DD knowing something he shouldnt before it happens are quite intriguing 
making it appear logical that someone went back in time and became DD. 
This much I believe could be true, someone could have. I do however have a 
bit of difficulty as to Ron being the one to do it. Ron has never shown any 
signs of being "extremely" talented in the ways that would be necessary to 
perform such a feat. The one that I had seen as at least capable were Fred 
and George. Some initial examples: (sounds ludicrous? please read on)

(1) At least one of them is quite skilled having turned Rons teddy bear 
into a spider when he was three, which would have meant the twins were five 
(not bad transfiguration for a 5 year old, which was Fred by the way)
(2) They are also very experimental and creative with their inventions. 
(Especially the headless hats which, Hermione points out, appear to have an 
invisibility spell on them which extends the field of invisibility beyond 
the boundaries of the charmed object) which (a) makes me think about what DD 
is telling Harry in the first book that he doesnt need a cloak to become 
invisible, and (b) DD has also been experimental himself in dragon's blood 
and alchemy.
(3) Harry gave them the Tri-Wizard Tournament money that they used to 
continue their experiments and open the joke shop. (They also use a lot of 
candies in their experiments, we know DD likes sweets and also likes a good 
joke like; the Christmas cracker hat with the vulture on it that DD wore in 
PoA)
(4) They had apparently, already used a type of time-turner method in GoF 
when they made the bet with Bagman. (They new the exact outcome of the 
International Quidditch game)
(5) The twins are also found helping or protecting Harry in every book. This 
help, concern, protection type behavior from the twins for Harry seems to 
become greater with each book.

These are just a few examples that would make the twins more apt to be DD. 
But, when I first noticed just how very talented they were and thought of 
the likelihood of the DD scenario I immediately dismissed the idea because, 
of course, there are "two" of them. Just recently however when I was 
reading, the idea relit when I saw DDs brother Aberforth. Could Aberforth 
possibly be Albus twin? Could they both have gone back in time?

I honestly dont see any more of a problem with this Twins/DD theory than 
the Ron/DD theory, both scenarios are equally questionable. I do favor this 
one because of the twins greater capabilities.
