But if Percy was trying to gain/keep rank by doing
what the ministry wanted, why didn't he do what the
Ministry wanted?  He did *not* spy on his family.

And, presuming that was what the ministry wanted, why
didn't they encourange him to make amends so that they
might get more info?  Why didn't they transfer him
somewhere else since they didn't get the payoff?

For me, there are just too many unaswered questions in
respect to Percy.  I'm not ready to draw any
conclusions yet, but I can't take things at face
value.

He just seemed way too out of character here.
