Percy can be annoying, I'll give you that. But I think he's just as
concerned about being overshadowed by his brothers as is Ron. He has one
older brother who was was good at quidditch, and one who was Head Boy,
both of whom have interesting careers. I'd say he has a lot to live up to
as well. And even though he doesn't say so, I am willing to bet he feels
the pinch of Weasley poverty too, which is why is so willing to work so
much overtime at the Ministry of Magic. And as for his priggishness,
being an older sibling, he probably feels responsible for his younger
brothers and sister and adopted a parental role with them at school. (One
which they all patently ignored <g>) I like Percy in spite of (or perhaps
because of) all his foibles.
It will be interesting to see in the future books which way he'll go.
