We as readers don't know and it is a safe guess the groop of death
eaters does not either. Besides two of the Robinsons are small
children being tortured by a group of adults in public. Completely
different from what the twins did. The twins don't discriminate and
don't think themselves superior for having magic. 

 Regardless I've already acknowledged about a dozen times that I know

Actually I don't think the fatness is the crime but him being fat
while Harry goes hungry, which is mostly Petunia's fault.
