Yes, I recall after OotP a lot of people were saying 'Harry/Hermione/The Twins have suddenly become OOC and nasty!' but to defend Rowling (first and last time for everything, I'm sure) I think the threads for their more overt behaviour was pretty well foreshadowed/present even in the earlier books, it was just subtler. Only Ginny can really be said to have changed drastically for the worse, imho.
