I've been afraid that is what will happen for a while now. Before 
OoP, he amused me because he seemed like an eccentric relative that 
everyone puts up with because he is family. In OoP though, I hated 
him.  He was mean, ambitious and self-serving. (No, I don't think it 
was an act because he was spying for Dumbledore.)  But there has to 
be a reason he was in Gryffindor instead of Slytherin besides the 
family history.  

"Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and chivalry 
Set Gryffindors apart" according to the Sorting Hat (PS/SS).  Brave, 
daring, nerve, chivalry. We haven't seen them in Percy yet, but 
there must be more to him that even he doesn't know about himself.
