Starting in CoS where they found Percy in Diagon Alley 
reading "Prefects Who Gained Power".  A theme has been started 
throughout the books and shifted into high gear during GoF that 
starts us all wondering whether Percy is too power hungry.  Ron 
wonders about this several times in GoF.  I didn't look up specific 
references, but I remember Ron wondering aloud whether Percy would 
turn in his own brothers.

This makes me think about Quirrell at the end of SS where he tells 
Harry, "There is no good or evil, there is only power, and those too 
weak to seek it."  I am wondering if Percy's bid for power will be a 
major plot line in a future book.  Judging by the buildup in GoF, I 
would say that this is going to happen in book 5.  

Any thoughts?

p.s. I think that Arabella Figg will be the new DADA Professor
