Betsy Hp:  
Actually, I think there's a schism running through the Weasley 
family, with Arthur, Ron and Percy on one side, and Molly, the 
twins, and now, unfortunately, Ginny, on the other. (I've no idea 
where Bill or Charlie fall.  They may do their best to remain 
uninvolved.)  It's not a horribly destructive schism for the most 
part.  Molly and Arthur seem to have grown comfortable with it.  But 
I think it's what caused them to lose Percy, and I think it's what 
caused the twins to grow up so wild.


Janelle:  A lot of people have been talking about the twins and their
relationships to various members of the Weasley family.  One that I've
found disturbing is the idea of the twins always being opposed to
Molly, always being mean to her, or unfair to her.  Also, they are
said to be always mean to Percy.  I see the situation a little
differently.  When Percy separates himself from the family, Fred and
George greatly increase their dislike for him.  I think that a large
part of this is the fact that his leaving hurt their mother so much. 
The twins are being mean towards Percy because they are feeling
protective of their mother and dislike what Percy is putting her
through.  This to me shows that the twins are far from indifferent
towards their mother.  Yes, they've had their little fights with her,
the same way any hyper-active, trouble-making kid would with their
slightly-controlling mother.
