Interesting thought just occurred to me (profusest of apologies if this
has been discussed already, I got kind of lost in the volume of Percy
stuff that's been going by and I might have missed it)--I see some
parallels between Percy and Draco. Both seem to have taken the "party
line" they've been given and run with it. Draco certainly talks the talk
for his dad's viewpoint, and Percy is the poster child for the MoM. But
neither have "seen action."

I wonder how they will react, when Draco sees the dark side in action
(the "wet work" referred to by Jim, I think), and when Percy sees how
ineffective his beloved bureaucracy can be in the fight against the
dark. How will their respective baptisms of fire affect them?

Does anyone else see this parallel, or do I really, really need to take
a break and get a Dr. Pepper now?
