Do we deny that she's a valid target for the Twins' pranks? We don't? Good.
Depends on what you mean by 'valid target'. Since the twins' actions don't really serve to get rid of her or protect the other students from her, they smack of simple vengeance or two wrongs making a right. That's very human, but valid?
That goes doubly for the Dursleys, whose cruel treatment of Harry is only likely to increase if they have more negative encounters with magic folks. Dursleys + Twins = vicious circle.
