I'm a little anxious to find out what Percy's reaction is to the
fact that the person he idolizes (the Minister) now looks like a
complete idiot after saying that he had been wrong the whole year,
and that Voldemort had returned right under his nose. (and got into
in the Ministry! gasp!)
But, for the most part, I don't think he's going to go all 'evil'.
Personally, I'm tired of the whole Percy-Is-A-Git thing.
JKR has a way of making us start to really dislike a character, and
then show us that they've really done nothing wrong, and slowly
redeem themselves.
For example, Snape. We hate him, don't we? But the funny thing is,
throughout all the books, he hadn't done anything wrong. Sure he
loved insulting students, and shooting out death-glares, but did he
ever put Harry in mortal danger?
It's pretty obvious that Snape is redeemable because he is on the
right side. I think it's the same case with Percy. JKR is going to
make him seem like such a stupid git, get the readers to absolutely
hate him, and then make him do something heroic, like save his
family.
Percy didn't do anything that was against what was right. He was
mislead, fed with lies, and he actually believed those lies, and
impressed his opinions on his younger brother while walking out on
his own family - but what will he do now that he finds he was wrong?
IMHO Percy will probably die saving his family just when we (the
readers) think we couldn't hate him more.
Honestly, that would make me cry. *runs out of the room all teary-
eyed*
Any thoughts? Reactions? Incoherent obscenities?
