Fabian & Gideon Prewett

A friend, who is the mother of twins, told me that if you read closely, Fabian & Gideon Prewett were most probably twins who Fred & George were named after, and that their heroic deaths foreshadow the fact that the Weasley twins would either die or be injured in battle like their uncles.

The twin theory sounds plausible, but I've only read the books once (all seven this summer after HBP the movie was released), and I can't remember there being too, too much discussion about the Prewett brothers, other than the conversation Moody has with Harry pointing out the members of the original Order in OotP in a photo and later in DH when Molly gives Harry his 17th-birthday "coming of age" watch. 

What do those of who are more immersed in the books think?
