  '*You* dont care about Ginny,' said Ron, whose
  ears
  where reddening
  now. '*Youre* just worried Im going to mess up
  your
  chances of being
  Head  Boy.'
  'Five points from Gryffindor!' Percy said tersely,
fingering his prefect badge,'And I hope it teaches you
a lesson! No more *detective work*, or Ill write to
Mum!'
Chamber of Secrets,chapter nine page 119. 
 
This quote and many  before has tripped my brain into the theory that
  Percy  is more than he seems, or at least deceptive. Note
  Percy doesn't jump to the defence that he *does*
  care  about Ginny, just that Ron deserves points off for
  questioning him. I'm on two Harry Potter groups so
  I  can't remember who I posted this theory to before   
but I think OotP will give us a Percy we never 
expected (or wanted)to see.....  
 It remains interesting to me that the Weasleys
  play  *such* an importance in Harry's world, too many
  co-incidental things happen as a result of Harry
  being close to the Weasleys, who are Minister of
Magic workers,Marauder map holders,dragon handlers
  etc....This is another reason why I suspect
Percy;he's close to Harry,he is able to see him on the
holidays *when Dumbledore is not there to protect
him*.

Percy values his job a great deal, and Ron has said
before (I don't know where the quote is)that he
wouldn't be surprised if Percy sold them out if they
broke the rules. Another quote at the start of PoA got
me thinking too.. I can't give you verbatim  (my
housemates busy with my copy!)but when Harry catches
up with the Weasleys in the Leaky Cauldron Percy
approaches Harry with a tone which JKR describes *as
though he'd never met him*. Perhaps Percy is not who
he seems to be..... 
Sorry for the sloppy quote directions,
