Penny, I'm with you here.  I adore Percy.

I agree.  Percy cares very much for his family but he does not show it 
well.  He ran right into the lake after the second task in GoF because 
he was clearly worried about Ron.  He does love rules, as Penny just 
mentioned, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.  Percy just wants 
everything to go the way he thinks they are supposed to.  He's simply 
not a jokester like the twins and he's high-strung.  Lots of people 
are.  He could use a little (well a lot, really) loosening up, but he 
is not dark wizard material, no matter how we disect him.

Percy has never gone out of his way to hurt another person.  He showed 
no evidence of being a bad boyfriend, and has never insulted someone 
else, the way we've seen Malfoy do.  He is nice to Harry and gets 
along well with Hermione.  Percy argues with his brothers the way 
brother do, not because he hates them or because he has gone bad 
inside, the way Tom Riddle.

I still would like to know what happened to Penelope Clearwater, 
though.
