Comment:
I have been rereading the COS, and found some interesting things on 
Percy.  Remember when they find the Tom Riddles Diary, and ron 
comments that he has heard the name before.....Ron had to polish the 
a medal of merit that Tom had earned.  HRH go to the trophy romm to 
check the medal out, and find that he was headboy as well. Ron 
comments then and a couple of other times in the book that Percy is 
just like Tom Riddle....  when I read this I thought Percy really is 
evil, and he will not redeem himself.  I have been thinking all along 
that Percy would go back to his family, but now I am not so sure. 
Anyone else have a comment about this?
