Just my two cents on the whole matter:

The idea that the Twins somehow brought some form of justice to Dudley Dursley simply does not fly. Not only because, as better writers have stated before, appointed yourself to be judge, jury and executioner is a form of vigilantism that is both illegal and unethical, but also because they *have done this kind of thing before*.
Yes! I'm not even talking about them testing out new products on unsuspecting firsties, I'm talking about them giving their kid brother an acid pop which *burned a hole in his tongue*! (the same kid brother whose teddy they transformed into a spider, giving him a lovely phobia, whose pet puffskein they've murdered when they used it as a bludger at Quidditch practice and whom they've nearly sweettalked into swearing an Unbreakable Vow, which is potentially *lethal*)
These sadistic little twerps have a *history* of feeding younger kids harmful sweets, and it has nothing to do with justice, whatsoever. 
They've also have a history of tormenting younger children and animals. Strange that those who claim that Dudley Dursley *deserved* to be tortured by the Twins because it was karmic justice do not clamour for karmic justice to hit the Twins, the biggest, baddest, unrepentested bullies of them all!
