OoP, US ed p 619:

"'Very well, then,' said Fudge, now radiant with glee.  'Duplicate 
your notes, Weasley, and send a copy to the Daily Prophet at once.  
If we send a fast owl we should make the morning edition!'  Percy 
dashed from the room, slamming the door behind him, and Fudge turned 
back to Dumbledore."

Percy left the room to give Fudge a hand in discrediting 
Dumbledore.  Because Fudge *told* him to.  So unless Fudge is a spy 
for Dumbledore against himself, I don't think this can be used to 
prove Percy is Dumbledore's agent.  Or at least it can't be used to 
say Percy is helping Dumbledore out in this instance.

And until JKR writes "Percy is a spy for Dumbledore" or "Percy is 
Evil" I will continue to believe he's an overly ambitious fool who 
traded up his family for the wrong reason and will either die for 
his mistaken loyalty or eventually return to the Weasley fold a 
humbled young man.
