First of all, I read some "theory-bay" in the archives, and although
I really enjoyed it, I don't think, that I'm able to write one, so
please forgive me, if I'm answer the "normal" way.

I don't know if he has an acronym or if you can count him as a main
character, but at least he is in all for books: Peeves! He really has
no important scene yet, he is just there to annoy everybody. Another
superflous character is Colin Creevey. Okay, he was petrified once,
but so were Justin Finch-Fletchley and Penelope Clearwater, and they
weren't seen that often later as Colin.

Here, I disagree with you. First of all I don't think, Percy is one-
dimensional. He seems to be arrogant and pompous most of the time, but he
has his moments, when he shows, how much he really cares for his
silblings, like the scene, when Ron was hostage in the lake. Okay, I
must admit that Chamber of secrets is the only book, where Percy has
sort of a role, but you can say the same for Ginny and the only real
important moment with the twins was, when they give the Marauders Map
to Harry. But Percy is now in a very important position, in the
department of international cooperation. To have an allie in this
department is very important, like Dumbledore said, that in the
light of Voldemorts return, the bounds between the nation, are more
important, than ever before, or something like this. And I personally
do think, that Percy will allie with Dumbledore Harry etc., and not
with Fudge, or even Voldemort.
