Oliver Phelps, who played George in the movies, has his own theory as to why the Weasley twins never confronted Ron about his unusual bed-mate.

“Maybe it’s a boo in the family that no one talks of. ‘Who’s this Peter bloke?’” he told HuffPost.

He later added, “Maybe it was an unspoken word in the Weasley’s family,” insinuating, perhaps, that Fred and George didn’t want to press Ron on a relationship he wasn’t yet comfortable talking about. Sure, Ron was 11 years old when he first had brought Scabbers/Peter to Hogwarts, but maybe the relationship wasn’t romantic.

Phelps suggested that the family was probably surprised when Ron and Hermione got together.

“When it came out that he got with Hermione, they were like, ‘Oh.’” said Phelps.
