Pete Townshend decided that Tommy needed to be taken advantage of. Pete was unable to write a song about Tommy being bullied due to his personal experiences (he was bullied because of his nose). Pete told John Entwistle to write the song. John created Cousin Kevin and based the character on a bully he knew and fought (John won the fight:).
Kevin is probably Ernie's son. Ernie may have molested Kevin and that may have lead him to a disturbed, violent life. Christmas also probably sets the scene for this song.
