Evil Percy?

My friends and I have been discussing the possibility of Percy 
Weasley going over to the Dark Side.  Impossible?  Not when you think 
about it.  He's obviously very keen for power, and enjoys having 
authority over others, as we have seen from his persistent 'Excuse 
me, I'm a Prefect'.  He is also seen to be reading a book 
called 'Prefects who Gained Power'.

I don't have a copy with me right now, but I think it's in Book 4 
that Ron says something like:

'I reckon Percy'd do anything to succeed, even if it meant turning in 
his own family.'

Could this be a glimpse into the future?

I don't think Percy would decide of his own accord to turn to the 
Dark Side, but I can see him being tricked or tempted over.  After 
all, he carried on following the orders 'Mr. Crouch' sent to him and 
didn't seem the slightest bit worried that he hadn't seen his boss 
for weeks.  Other people were suspicious of this, but Percy refused 
to even question the matter.  I think if Percy were given orders he'd 
follow them, and this is why I think he's more likely to be tempted 
than any other character.

I know that Percy might seem to be too much of a 'goody two-shoes', 
but then again wasn't Tom Riddle, now the Dark Lord whom everyone 
fears, also Head Boy and 'model student'?  Is it really so unlikely 
that Percy will follow suit?

Anyway, just something for you all to consider.  I'm new to this 
group by the way, so hello everyone!  I know this is meant to be 
for 'grown-ups' and I'm only 16, but I like to think I'm mature 
enough?  Maybe you adults will have some better ideas to add to 
this...
