Valerie:
Percy was never given much of a role in the films except perhaps in 
POA. I love that "I'm HEAD BOY!" though they didn't even acknowledge to 
non-HP readers that that was in fact a Weasley, so perhaps many didn't 
'get it'. i.e. they could've had Ron roll his eyes and say to Harry "Oh 
that Percy, what a git! I'm ashamed to admit he's my brother" or some 
such thing. Then he appears in the scenes with Fudge in OotP, but 
again, is not mentioned by name. My family didn't even recognize him, 
so I guess that was thrown in there for the book reader's sake. And 
wasn't it in OotP that Ron and Hermione get to be Prefects, or is the 
HBP? I believe they ditched that storyline which, again, could've 
reinforced that Percy is a 'brown-noser'. I can hear Fred and George 
dissing him now and mocking Ron for being chosen prefect; Mrs. Weasley 
hugging Ron; scolding the twins, etc. Wouldn't have taken much to add 
that to the Grimmauld Place scene, IMO.
