Percy Weasley, weak link

I agree that Percy does not fit well into the Weasley family. I think his 
obsession with winning the approval of Crouch and therefore of the 
bureaucracy of the Ministry of Magic is caused by his need for approval 
which (as others have observed) he doesn't get from most of his family.

I think this may cause several problems:

1) He will fall under the influence of Fudge (who I think is, if not already 
evil, well on his way to working for Voldemort & Co) because of Fudge's high 
status and conventional ways, despite his family's loyalties and his loyalty 
to Dumbledore.

2) This will result in security problems as the rest of the Weasleys become 
more involved with Dumbledore's work and may well end by endangering some 
member of Percy's family. This will be the chance for Percy to make up his 
mind without regard to rules, laws, reputations, or status and his choice at 
that point will determine his future and possibly the future of the 
Voldemort War.

Choices are key, as Dumbledore keeps saying.
