That's your opinion, but I see Ron and Hermione both as sidekicks.
But that's a different discussion ;)

I think it's some of both. And while Percy knows about
Hermione, I'm not sure if he considers her role very much,
or compares it to his own. Since canon doesn't tell us
anything about this, I guess all we can do is speculate...

I do wish we'd get more insights into other peoples'
feelings and motivations in the HP universe!

I'd hate to be in his shoes, and I'm not sure he'd just be
welcomed back and completely forgiven by all within a few
days.
And don't have enough insight in Percy to speculate how he
would feel about this himself.

Would he feel guilty and blame himself, or would he shift
the blame to others and consider himself in the right, or
just unlucky?

Did he really believe Voldemort wasn't back, or is there
more to his choice of allegiance...
