maneelyfh:
I love the Wesleys as well, and really do hope we see a redeemed 
Percy.  The thing that bothers me as to why this may not happen is 
the series is, how do I put this, real world? Molly's boggart is one 
of her loved ones dying, possibly another clue.  I could see Percy 
getting mixed up with LV, then trying to get out and getting killed.



In OoP, when Molly sees everyone "dead," i understand her seeing Arthur, and maybe even Ron and Harry, but why everyone else? I too think that this is a clue as to the future books and Percy's possible connection with Voldemort in future books.
