Actually, I thought this myself a time or two during
OoP. Percy *is* very Boromirish- completely hellbent
on power and defeating the enemy, but blind to the
right way about doing so. Deep down he *wants* to do
the right thing, but is so convinced that his way is
right that he alienates and abuses those who disagree.
 Yep, this does sound a bit familiar. 

I've feared since GoF that Percy's coming to an
untimely death, but I would love for it to be while
pledging allegiance to Dumbledore. I've thought all
along that he was a perfect Slytherin (aside from his
family, of course) so it would be bittersweet for him
to prove in his dying moments why he was a Gryffindor.
Or he could do all that *without* the dying part, but
I just get so gleeful when I'm predicting deaths :)

Heather, who has to add that I *love* Darrin's band
names, "I love the 80's" moments, babe/skank lists,
and, well, generally all of his opinions, which I tend
to agree with 99% of the time.
