Mugglenet.com currently has a poll asking if Percy will appologize to his family.  This is a very interesting question.  I have very mixed feelings about this.  Part of me says that he will offer it up and admit that he was being power hungry and stupid.  The other part of me says that he will have every excuse in the world and feel that he did nothing wrong and maybe even turn the events around to where he insists that he was right all along and his family should appologize to him.  Any thoughts?

I think he'll end up reconciling. It's often seen where the WW (or characters like Molly) are persuaded by public opinion (Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet, Gilderoy . . .) to the point of near blindness. Molly's suspicions toward Hermione are classic, because she should really know better, having the opportunity to observe Hermy firsthand. After a revelation, though, people "suddenly realize" something and the WW revises it's opinions (Harry following the Quibbler article, etc.). So, in keeping with that trend, I'm banking on a revised Percy. He was built up as such a mama's boy in the early books that I can't imagine his ego blocking that emotional vent. Unfortunately, this reinforces my "dead Molly" theory . . . sorry about that. It may take that to get the blinders off Percy.
