I can not see them as not being one. Fred is more dominate but too hard to choose one!!

i really just don't care much about the twins. i always saw them as a pair, so i couldn't tell you which twin i preferred or anything.
i guess i do admire their nerve, though. they're textbook gryffindors.

and when fred died, it was harry's reaction to it, not the death itself, that made me want to crawl into a hole and die.

I like to think that, for the most part, the twins picked on people that they thought to take it. I see it as their way of showing affection. They weren't really close to Percy and would call him a git a lot, but Percy was obviously tough enough to withstand the teasing and loved his brothers. Same with Ron.

Honestly, as much as Fred's death is upsetting and everything, if one of them had to die, it truly had to be him and I'm glad it wasn't George.

George was always so much more sensitive and cautious while Fred was the reckless one of the two. In a way, they were very much like Sirius and James, and George would be the James in this situation.

Also, I love the idea of Angelina and George coming together. I think it was important for him to be with someone who understood that he was missing a half of himself (especially because he was much more emotionally sensitive), and they were able to acknowledge Fred together in their own way, I'm sure.

I actually am really uncomfortable with Angelina and George getting together. It seems like an incredibly unhealthy relationship, compounded by the fact that they were twins. Idk, it feels weird to me, and I have no idea what a psychologist would say about a girl marrying her murdered boyfriend's twin... They'd probably have a field day

Canon-wise Fred and Angelina went on exactly one date and the way he asked her doesn't really indicate he was in love with her or anything.

My cousin whose husband died of AIDS married his friend after he died (not sure if it was his best friend as I'm not really close with that cousin because we're several years apart). It's a really common thing to do.

It is somewhat common, even in relationships not involving a death, but things like infidelity. (Wasn't there a celebrity -- Shania Twain, I think -- who recently married the husband of the woman her husband cheated on her with?) People bond over lots of things, and while those relationships might not have the most emotionally healthy start, real love can result from them.

Jo admitted in the Year in the Life interview that George and Angelina's relationship wouldn't have been considered the best thing that they could do, but they were happy together.
