Will Prodigal Percy return? Was Percy question

Susanne:" I'd hate to be in his [Percy's] 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."

Oh, he won't be.  He might not try to come straight back to the
Burrow, but approach the family from a distance, tentatively. I could
see him seeking out Bill or Charley as an intermediary. We'll have to
wait and see.

JKR gives us as much insight into her characters as any author.
Although we only get into Harry's head, we see a lot about how they
respond to the extraordinary stimuli they're under. We've known Percy
for five years now.  What more can JKR do, publish his MMPI?

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

Is Percy the latest closet Death Eater?  I choose not to think so. I
think he's got more Weasley in him than that.  As far as whether he
believed in Voldemort's return or not; if Fudge had said Voldemort was
back, Percy would have said that.  Voldemort isn't back, Percy's in
line.  There's a saying in the Army: "If we want you to have an
opinion, we'll issue you one."  That's our Percy.
