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.
