Now I must say, even if all your message was quite a good speculation 
about Scabbers, what was very good was the insight of Percy's 
childhood. Even if as the next reply from Bbiph says taht at a 
calculated timeline Ron and Ginny would be babies, well, who wants to 
play with babies? Percy was indeed a very lonely child, and that 
maight explain why he thinks he is such an adult, his reverence with 
order and power (as he had none as a child, older brothers and the 
twins below). His need to be diferent, above, respected, and in 
comand, to be clever, righteous etc, of which he gets all wrong.
Thanks for this lovely insight into Percy's childhood, it made me 
feel sorry for him, for the first time (the big head)
