Why isn't Percy in Slytherin?  

If the defining charcteristic of Slytherins is "use any means to 
achieve their ends" (Percy sending back his mum's sweater, that's 
just wrong!) "Power hungry Slytherin loved those of great ambition" 
(definitly sounds like Percy) and the Weasleys are pureblood wizards 
as far back as anyone can remember, shouldn't he be?  

He seems like the type who's always wanted to be in the MoM, even 
before Hogwarts.  

I think JKR may have missed her chance for 'the good slytherin' here 
(assuming he shows some major redeeming qualities, including an 
apology for the sweater, in the last two books, until then, I'm 
counting him as evil-by-lack-of-goodness)

dies (if one really has to)
