Ah Steve, I bow humbly before thee !!

Honestly, you have expressed astonishingly well the way I see Percy. 
I would go even further than you did. Percy is indeed the Good Son, 
the one who is sacrificing himself to redeem his family name *against 
its will* ! Arthur and Molly might not mind being considered loonies, 
Bill and Charlie might not care and prefer pursuing personal 
interests, so Percy is the one who will bring back its honor to the 
name of Weasley !

And yes I think we might see great things coming from Percy in the 
future. IMO, he is as truly a Gryffindor as his parents and siblings.
