Steven1965aaa:

Remember, Ron is the guy who vomited slugs all over Tom Riddle's 
award for special services to the school!

With respect to the twins, I agree with you that they are quite 
capable of causing harm, and they did so accidentally with the 
cabinet, but IMO their heart is in the right place and they're not 
going over to the dark side anytime soon.  A few examples come to 
mind: In SS helping Harry get his trunk on the train before they 
even knew who he was, in COS they went bezerk when Malfoy called 
Hermione a "mudblood", in POA giving Harry a gift of the invaluable 
and priceless Marauder's map (if they were looking for $ they could 
have tried to sell that map to Malfoy or some other rich student for 
big bucks), in OOP expressing their desire to join the Order, etc.
