I just ran across the spider incident today. Ron was three, so the boys must have been 
5. He turned the teddy into a spider because Ron had broken his toy broomstick. 
Sounds like a brother's spat with magic to me. I haven't found the bludgeoning 
incident yet and don't remember reading it at all. I still think people are reading way 
too much into the twins behaviour.
