Well, anything's possible.  The only way I see Percy going there is if he's 
under Imperius.

Ron doesn't yet have a compelling reason to go over to the Dark Side.  I 
hope he never gets one, either... but then, my opinion of his strength of 
character does not mirror that of many fans.

I don't dislike Ron as a character at all.  I will admit that I do not 
understand him, and see him entering a phase I hope he grows out of very 
quickly.  The argument that "he's just an adolescent boy" does not suffice 
in my mind when there is a madman on the loose... ask Voldemort, Lucius 
Malfoy, et. al whether or not they'll put their Diabolical Plans on hold so 
Ron can grow up.  Or any of the rest of these kids, for that matter.

Ron doesn't need more hugs and pity.  He needs to put on his sword and 
shield.  Childhood is over.  He's going to need to be vigiliant.  Otherwise, 
I fear that he may unwittingly become a Pawn... I'd much rather see him 
become a Knight.

The more and more I read canon and fanfic, the more ways I can see Ron, 
Hermione, or both being used against Harry in some fashion.  Voluntarily or 
involuntarily.  The enemy has a smorgasbord of choices--it remains to be 
seen which choice will be made.
