think that Fudge has exactly been on Voldemort's side.  He's just 
not believe (not wanted to believe that V is back).   Fudge may have 
wanted to use Percy as a source of information, but also as a public 
relations tool-   Mr. W's own son doesn't believe the rumors- thus 
discounting even more the "lies" regarding V's return.

In a sense, Percy has struck me as being the Anti-Harry. HP has 
(OFTEN!!) made rash and impulsive decisions that are clearly 
detrimental to his self interest. Not so Percy. He is probably one 
of the most calculating and goal oriented characters in the books. 
His attitude right now seem to be geared specifically towards career 
advancement, come what may. Not so much for teh sake of power, but 
for the sake of, it'd seem, importance and authority.
