I don't see F&G as that bad at all but I think that is because I'm holding them to "Wizard's Standards" what I mean by that is it seems so simple to heal some one or fix a problem with magic that the magical world has a very low value on physical safety.
Things Fred and George do can seem down right horrendous to us but when you can mend bones with the wave of a wand, or regrow them with a potion in a day or so giving some one boils you can spell away just looks like harmless mischief. I think what they did to Dudley was out of line, but they may not have spent enough time around muggles to know just how bad a thing it was.
