Another worry for me about Percy is that Prof. Dumbledore asked Charlie near 
the end of GoF to contact his father to ask him to gather supporters inside 
the Ministry of Magic,  without arousing suspicion from Cornelius Fudge.  
Will this put Percy at odds with his father in the future and jeopardize the 
Order of the Phoenix's plans?  Will he feel the need to warn Fudge if he sees 
a conflict of style in dealing with Voldemort between his mentor - Fudge, and 
the Order of the Phoenix which his own father is a part of? (assuming the old 
gang is now called the Order of the Phoenix)  Will Arthur Weasley perhaps 
even be forced to keep things from Percy, if Percy continues to follow Fudge 
blindly?  What if his own son gets in the line of fire so to speak if Fudge's 
plans (or lack thereof) conflict with Dumbledore's group?
... and a thought about Bill Weasley totally unrelated to the above... maybe 
since he works for Gringotts, he may be asked to work with the Goblins to get 
them over to Dumbledore's side?
