I have often wondered why Percy is in Gryffindor as he doesn't 
particurlarly seem to show any Gryffindor characteristics, or am I 
missing something? I hope that he has some hidden potential which may 
come out (on the right side?)

There is one thing you must remember concerning the choosing hat: that, 
foremost, he lets the student make his choice. If Draco Malfoy, with 
all his Slytherin's traits, had asked to be put in Hufflepuff, he would 
have been put there. Remeber what Dumbledore told Harry: it's not the 
blood, nor the family, but what one chooses. Thus, Percy could have 
wished to be put in Gryffindor and, even if he was more suited to, say, 
Ravenclaw, the sorting hat would have put him in Gryffindor anyway.
