Count me in the Percy Fan Club.  The world needs its Percys just as much as 
any other type.  He cracks me up... it's a bit like laughing at myself... 
and how dare anyone suggest he'd betray his family?  :::glares:::  We have 
too much evidence to the contrary.  I agree with Scott and Penny--search the 
archives.


And about Ginny:

Ginny's so fun to speculate about, as she's such a wild card right now.  We 
still do not know much about her.  I can't wait to see how she develops... 
but I must say that I was very disappointed at her scarcity in GoF.

In fanfic, Ginny has become an Everywoman figure second only to Hermione.  I 
do think that some of what's been extrapolated from the little we know about 
her is ridiculous.  We know she is Ron's little sister.  We know she's had a 
crush on Harry for ages.  We know that she is reported to be rather 
talkative (which is why I goggle at "nurturing, quiet Ginny" in 
fanfiction--we simply have no evidence for this).

We do not know what sort of student she is.  We do not know whether she's 
any good at Quidditch or flying.  We do not even know who her friends are.  
In short, we know only the surface of who she is.

What we do know is that she probably will not be used by the Dark Side as a 
traitor.  That would be rehash--JKR used up that lifeline in CoS.

is proven)
