Funny. Maybe it was just me, but I figured that Percy was being 
sarcastic for a moment. He just saw his brother being very hostile 
towards someone he "admired", when all before he would have been 
excited to be near the guy. I find it funny & think this is a good 
moment for Percy. It shows he has a slimmer of a sense of humor, not 
exactly Fred & George style, but still a sense nonetheless.
