Mandy here:
Why wasn't he put in to Slytherin?  Perhaps he asked not to, just as 
you suggested.  That simple.  I don't imagine for a minute the Harry 
was the first kid to ask the Hat not to put him into a particular 
house.   

Percy comes from a very large family of almost all boys.  All of whom 
have been loyal Gryffindors. I can see the elder Weasley boys 
taunting the younger ones by saying "If your not in Gryffindor...
(insert various taunts of failure)."  Probably threatening to beat 
them up too.  All in that friendly, sadistic way siblings behave 
toward each other.  I can see Percy sitting on that stool, with the 
Sorting Hat suggesting he fits in to Slytherin and Percy terrified at 
the thought begging the hat for Gryffindor.
