On the contrary, I thought there have been a number of things sprinkled 
throughout the books that indicate Percy would Not take that road (his 
distress over Ginny in CoS, and worry about Ron during the 2nd Task in GoF 
come to mind especially).  I'm not saying that wouldn't be a temptation for 
him, mind, or even that he might not be the one to go bad and then turn back 
to the good side.  But I think that we have been given several clues that, 
despite his ambition, Percy is basically a good guy who cares about his family 
a lot.
