  Percy Weasley is acting under the Imperius all through OotP.  He is 
  not so drastically different that his family are completely surprised 
  by his actions and yet he is operating and making decisions that are 
  somewhat out of character for a beloved son of the Weasley 
  household.  After all, it is ok to disagree with your family, but to 
  turn your back on your father publicly the way Percy does after Harry 
  trial in OotP is a terribly slur and while Percy is a Humongous 
  Bighead and supports the Minister unquestionably, he does also 
  respect and love his parents. Also Percy's letter to Ron contains 
  enough of Percy for his own brother to accept it is him but I have 
  never known Percy to interfere with his younger brother in such a 
  direct way before.  The Percy Weasley in OotP so far beyond the Percy 
  in earlier books.

  I think that makes more sense than evil!Percy.  I can but Percy having a spat over differences of opinion about the MoM, but Percy's behavior far exceeds his job ambitiousness he'd shown previously.  It's one thing to not send any presents to his family for Christmas, but quite another to send the gift he received back.  A slap in the face, if you would.  I think his behavior towards Harry is strange also.  He acts as though Harry is a stranger, not a friend, which I think he was.  

  I know Percy was ambitious, but lets not forget, he was in Gryffindor, not Slytherin.  That means he must have bravery in him, right?  So he's either under the imperious curse, or he's a spy?  Right?  (shrug)
