So this isn't really a headcanon, but can I just say that I actually adore how Fred died in the book? Like, I love the twins, and I never wanted either of them to die, but the way he went out was perfect.
In life, Fred lived (unintentional but fully appreciated pun) to make people laugh. He reveled in being in the midst of noise and activity, of chaos and disorder.
He and George made it their goal, to make Percy lighten up.
It sometimes didn't seem that way, but I think they were always teasing Percy to try and get him to see that he didn't have to take himself so seriously (pun seen and intentionally ignored).
Now look at his death.
He died in the midst of battle. Not only that, he died in an explosion. You can't get much more chaotic and active a death than that.
Also, he died laughing. And what was he laughing at? His stuffy, stuck-up, git of a brother made a joke. Something he probably hadn't seen happen in 10 years, if not more.
So yes, Fred died in the battle, but JK Rowling could not have made his spirit any more immortal if she tried.
