Now me, Entropy:

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I looked back and
hadn't seen anything about it:

I was struck today by re-reading Percy's letter to Ron in OOP. It
seems so strange to me that Percy would refer to Harry as "Harry
Potter" and, later, "Potter". Granted, it may have to do with Percy
becoming an insufferable git, but nevertheless, it does seem odd that
Percy would refer to this boy who has attended school with him for
years, eaten breakfast with the family, seen him in his pj's, and been
his brother's best friend since day one as anything but "Harry". Of
course, canon shows Percy referring to him as "Harry" many many times.
 Proof of someone else's hand in Percy's letter?
