I think that JKR is going to make Percy a red herring.  If it ever 
APPEARS that Percy has become a Death Eater, I believe that it will 
only be because he is working as a spy for Dumbledore (he'll bail on 
the Ministry soon, probably).  After all, Snape can't work as an 
effective spy any more, now that Voldemort's basically put a contract 
out on him, and Percy, like Tom Riddle, is very smart and was Head 
Boy and is very ambitious.  I think he could convince Voldemort that 
he is Percy's role model and everyone else will also be convinced 
that Percy has turned bad, until a crucial moment when he turns 
around and makes it possible for Harry to face Voldemort one-on-one, 
instead of Voldemort having his army of dark wizards to support him...
