Percy is evil and will have something to do with Ron's fall. I've
tried to rationalize Percy too much in the past. I now do not think
that he is under anyone's curse, nor that he is working under cover.
Sometimes there is just one bad seed in the family.
 
Ali:
I have to disagree on this one.  Percy is somewhat of a bad seed, yes,
but I
don't think he's really evil.  He may not agree with his family's
views, but
to say that Percy will have something to do with the downfall of a
member of
his own family is carrying the theory out too far.  I think that,
though he
is quite ambitious, Percy is inherently a good guy doing what he feels is
morally correct.  Thus said, I can't support the idea that Percy is evil.

Carol:
Poor Weatherby! I don't think he's evil, only deluded--and trapped in
a pattern of behavior only partially of his own creation. But if we
look at his actions in GoF, "The Second Task," we can see that he
genuinely loves his youngest brother and fears for his life among the
merpeople. Percy has to be pried away from Ron, who is embarrassed by
his brother's open and emotional affection. This, I think, is the real
Percy, who would welcome a return to his family *if only* they'd
recognize his achievements and apologize for insulting him. Ron, too,
has trouble saying that he's sorry and has to wait for the other
person to say it first. Look at his fights with Hermione. I do see
trouble in store for Percy, but I don't think for a moment that he's
evil. (He has a bad case of "good boy" syndrome, as bboy says.)
