You think she forgot about them?  Au contraire: she remembered them
only too well.

I must admit I found Molly's "that's everyone in the family!" comment
when Ron got his badge to be....weird.  Fred and George were standing
right there, for flip's sakes; she must have seen them.  So what
gives with the comment?

Then I realized that in her excitement over Ron's big moment, she let
slip the fact that she has simply written the twins off as ever being
a credit to the family.  She has no expectation that they will ever
win any acolades that she respects, and she has given up on them. 
Had one of them opened their letter and a prefect's badge fallen out,
she'd have accused them of creating it themselves to play some kind
of prank with.

The woman is really amazing.
