Erin:
Cool, unruffled, and dignified?  What about during the Quidditch 
World Cup?  Here, I'll quote some lines:

"Mr. Crouch?" said Percy, suddenly abandoning his look of poker-stiff 
disapproval and positively writhing with excitement.

and

"Mr. Crouch!" said Percy breathlessly, sunk into a kind of half-bow 
that made him look like a hunchback. "Would you like a cup of tea?"

and

Percy jumped to his feet so often that he looked as though he were 
trying to sit on a hedgehog.  When Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of 
Magic himself, arrived, Percy bowed so low that his glasses fell off 
and shattered. Highly embarrassed, he repaired them with his wand and 
thereafter remained in his seat, throwing jealous looks at Harry, 
whom Cornelius Fudge had greeted like an old friend.


Erin:
Don't get me wrong, I like Percy, but his behavior is consistant.  It 
has progressed to new heights in OoP, but you can't say the 
groundwork wasn't laid.
