I'd really love to have Percy come out a hero in all this -- 
pretending to disavow his family to be a spy for Dumbledore in the 
MOM -- but he was a brown-noser from the start, long before Fudge 
turned up as a bought-off coward.  It'll take a very devious story 
from JKR to prove him a good guy (and she's good at that, so I look 
forward to being wrong!)

And just a niggle -- the Weasleys didn't cut Percy off, he cut *them* 
off.  Molly went to visit him in London and he shut the door in her 
face, he returned the Christmas sweater she sent him, he never spoke 
to Arthur at work, and then that horrendous letter to Ron.
