You know, that makes me think about Ron and how he and Percy really 
are similar in certain ways.  It makes sense that Percy wants to show 
people how great a Weasley he can be.  We've seen that he gets 
embarrassed of his family just like Ron (remember when Fred and George 
marched him over to eat Christmas dinner with the rest of them?).  Ron 
is very quick to get upset over what his family *doesn't* have and 
it's possible Percy feels the same way and is an overachiever to make 
up for it.
