I have to say, imo the same goes for Ron.

Any character in HP could fall for a trick or have the
Imperius curse used on them (since Harry seems to be the
only one of the kids who can resist this curse, so far), but
I truly can't see Ron join Voldemort deliberately just to
get some gold.

It seems to me that he doesn't like being poor, but doesn't
want to accept hand outs either. Too much pride.

He might go for a scheme, thinking he is doing something
good and making money in the process, but becoming a
death eater for money or to get back at Harry?

I just can't see it, and JKR would have to really come up
with a believable twist to keep me from getting thrown out
of the story.

I think Percy might be tempted for power in the ministry,
but ultimately I don't see him fall for it, either.
