You are so right.  I thought about them after I posted before. I 
think Percy would be the best one.  There has been lots of 
foreshadowing on his future.  Ron casts doubt on his character all 
over GoF (how he would do anything for Crouch, whether he would turn 
Fred and George over to the authorities to get ahead, etc...).  I 
guess the main driver for him is who his next boss is (and what 
happened to Penelope in GoF anyway? she'd straighten him out!).  
Before this series is over, I believe that Percy will either really 
be duped by LV or else he will appear to be duped by LV.  Me may even 
be "sorry" about it :).

I also think Arthur's a good possibility.  It seems that Lucius has 
Fudge in his back pocket and we know for a fact that he hates Arthur 
Weasley.  At the first sign of any action for Dumbledore's cause, I 
would imagine that Lucius would try to get rid of those in his path. 

Personally, I think either of these two is more interesting than the 
other possibilities.  I agree with Heidi that the Dumbledore thing's 
been done and I think Snape's too obvious.
