I'd have to read the exact scene again, because I don't remember if the twins did it to specifically hurt Percy or because they were just doing it to everyone. But I think that while Harry and Neville were the kinds of people to brush off something like that, Percy was the kind of person who would be furious.

The twins of course could not have done the exact same for Percy, but they could have done other things. They could have, for once, respected his private life and not teased him just for having a girlfriend. Percy may not have gotten into as many life-threatening situations as Ron, but they could have done little things. Instead, they attacked him every chance they got. When they were at the Burrow in COS, there was one point at which Percy simply asked about how they were getting to King's Cross, and the twins used the opportunity to make fun of his position as a prefect yet again for no reason at all.

I don't think that Bill, Charlie, and Molly had anything to apologize for, but I feel like Arthur did. In the situation above, even Arthur laughed along at Percy's expense, and I'm sure there were other situations like that. If he really respected Percy and his accomplishments, he would've told the twins that enough was enough.

They'd hidden their canary creams in the food, so anyone could have been turned.

Oh, you mean like the twins were teasing Ginny about her boyfriends. You still haven't shown any examples of the family treating Percy differently than the other siblings. The twins don't respect anyone's private life. Ginny got no support from any of her parents or siblings about Quidditch (and that's something the whole family values). Also, in the same book, COS, they all ask Percy if he wants to play Quidditch, in an attempt to be nice. In fact, they mention he's been preoccupied and they don't bother him, until presumably, they think he's being a bit pompous. They tease Ron when he gets his prefect badge, enough so that he doesn't want to mention it in front of them (despite being very proud). I just don't see how Percy's different on a general basis. If you want specifics, the twins seem to respond badly to Percy when he's trying to be authoritative, not about his accomplishments themselves (for instance they don't tease him about his 12 Owls, because he doesn't gloat about them). I could see how Percy would see this as disrespect. But I don't think the twins see it that way.

Again, that behavior is no different that how he treats his other children in regards to the twins. Are you saying he doesn't respect them either? That if Ron decided he wasn't appreciated, Arthur would have to apologize for that? The fact that Arthur waited until OOtP to suggest that the Ministry was using him, was a sign of respect, considering Couch couldn't even remember his name. It's also pretty clear, that for the most part, Arthur lets Molly do the disciplining until, as I said, lines are crossed.
