to clear up something eleveninches said before, magneto DID NOT believe in human-mutant coexistence before anya was killed. in fact, before he saw anya dying in the fire, he didn't know he was a mutant. he was being restrained by the men of the village not because he was a mutant, which noone knew, but because he'd been framed for some crime. so, they didn't let him go, he couldn't go try to save his daughter, the trauma activated his mutant powers and he tore the village apart. everyone died except him and magda, but magda ran off, and that's where pietro and wanda's story begins.
also, the "revelation" of lorna being magneto's daughter was one of the stupidest reveals i've ever seen. after years of her being not magneto's daughter, only ever thinking she was due to mesmero's influence, she suddenly goes on a search to find her real parents. and, go figure, the plane had been "strangely magnetized." CLEARLY, SHE'S MAGNETO'S DAUGHTER. it was stupid, and the writer just felt like making them have a familial connection. and, regrettably, it's canon now...
wanda's powers don't include hex magic, she is a mutant. after her whole origin was explained, after she's spent years conducting hex magic, it's all retconned in the disassembled arcs. apparently she can alter probabilities and causal reality itself, letting her do just about anything. the whole "hex magic" thing was a ruse used to help her focus her incredible power levels... another crappy retcon. the only interesting part of it was the dark beast and xavier's descriptions of magneto and wanda in excalibur. xavier talks about how magneto has full control over one of the fundamental forces of the universe, and if he let himself, he could do virtually anything he set his mind to. hell, he even creates a pocket wormhole with a halved power level.
the dark beast explains how wanda can control another aspect of reality, though, unlike her father, it's not a physical aspect. she controls cause and effect, probability. likewise, she could do just about anything she wanted to, as her very powers seem to make any effect probable from any cause. that's why she had those faux-kids in disassembled, why the long-deceased agatha harkness could appear living and commune with the avengers, why several seemingly random disasters occurred at once, yadda yadda...
the dark beast also expanded on magneto's self-inflicted restraints, which stop him from becoming such a brutal force of nature. the man, erik magnus lehnsherr, is constantly at battle with the beast, magneto. it's a somewhat contrived point, basically making erik into magneto's unwilling conscience, but it helps explain why magneto can do things like making wormholes, and why he hasn't throughout his life. checks and balances and whatnot.
also, pietro's written off. "the other twin, quicksilver, doesn't matter much. he just runs fast. it's "wicked wanda" who's the marvel."

Wanda's powers have been constantly retconned, its hard to define what her powers really are. It'll probably be retconned again after house of m! I'd personally love to see a one on one match between Wanda and Magneto. Master of magnetism against the controller of reality!
Wouldn't that be a site too see.
Though my dream match is stil Polaris vs Magneto vs Scarlet Witch vs Quicksilver.
