I don't know. In SS, Harry is watching the Weasley's from the train 
and the description of Percy is a bit arrogant. By the time they are 
sorted and Percy is leading them up to the Tower, the description of 
Percy is still a bit arrogant and authorative. I think we see Percy 
through Harry's eyes the majority of the time. Like in PoA, when Percy 
greets and shakes Harry's hand with an unusual degree of formality. 
Harry has to keep from laughing. I think Harry sees Percy as is.
