<grinning>

Percy may be reliable in the sense of 'dependable,' but putting
him in the same sentence as anything meaning 'trustworthy for
Harry' is, IMO, an oxymoron ;-)

Ron got Scabbers from Percy (this is repeated at least twice at
    beginning of PoA)
Percy adviced Harry to take divination.
Percy appears surprised that the Dementors wasn't joining the
    search for Black at Hallowe'en, and asks if they didn't want
    to help.
Percy makes bets for money he doesn't have
Percy didn't believe his own brother when Ron told him that
    Black had been in the dormitory
Percy thinks Crouch 'was quite fond of' Bertha Jorkins
Ron is not sure that Percy wouldn't throw any of his family to
    the Dementors
Percy really believes that Crouch is just "taking a well-deserved
    break"

I seriously think that Percy is being consciously portrayed as
someone we shouldn't trust.
