Bravo! Probably the best and most realistic analysis of what is
happening to Percy that I have ever read.

Percy is driven by his underlying psychology. In my opinion, as stated
many times before, Percy is playing the dysfunctional family role of
'the Good Son', and he is desparate for some recognition of this role. 

But this is a dysfunctional role, consequently the more he tries to be
 recognised as 'the good son', the less recognition and the more
harrasment (from Fred and Geoge) he gets. Percy could heartily take
whatever Fred and George dish out, it they would first say to Percy,
'well done Percy'. 

But they don't, so he tries harder, and he sinks deeper into his
dysfunctional role which only make it worse. In short, the more he
does it Right (dysfunctionally right), the more it goes all Wrong. 

You ask, can there be redemption?

I think there can and will. I sincerely hope (although I have my
doubt) that someone in the family (Harry and Ron?) will go to Percy
and compel him to come back. 

I have this vision of Harry and Ron going to Percy's flat, kicking
down the door, walking into the kitchen, sitting down, and saying,
'well, are you going to make us some tea then?'. 

Then sitting there and talking to Percy until Percy realized that
there is no escape; once a Weasley, always a Weasley. Percy is doomed
in his fate as a member of this undignified and slightly eccentric
family, and there is nothing he can do to escape it. So, he might as
well resign himself to his fate, and to the most horrendous amount of
teasing he has ever experience once Fred and George get a hold of him.

Percy will be made to understand that you can be angry at someone you
love and still love them. And just as easily, you can forgive someone
you love, no matter how big an annoying prat they might be.

Just a thought.
