--- hermionegallo posted a brilliant post that I agree with 100%, so 
I snipped almost the whole thing, except:

Replacement (2): this one is interesting.  <snip>
Polyjuiced Percy hasn't been too warmly received anywhere I've 
presented it, but it's not such a stretch. <snip> I've thought that 
the way Percy talks and acts in OoP seems more like Wormtail than 
Percy.  
Problem: the silver hand.

Constance Vigilance (me):

Actually, that's not a problem. We have canon to prove that physical 
infirmities are corrected in the polyjuicing process - when Harry 
becomes Goyle, his eyesight improves. The juiced person assumes the 
infirmities of the one duplicated, see Moody's eye and leg.

I really like this theory, because it also explains why Peter is not 
among the DE muster in the Dept of Mysteries. He's busy being someone 
else at the time. And besides, I believe in P.I.N.E. (Percy Is Not 
Evil). At this point, I would like to propose P.I.N.E.S.A.P. Percy Is 
Not Evil, Simulated Alternate: Peter!

Besides, I always wanted an acronym.
