"Fudge offered Percy the job, because he hoped, Percy would spy on
the Weasleys. But then Dumbledore turned the table and Percy spied on
Fudge, instead. And Fudge didn't want to fire him, because he is such
an excellent minion (or rather seems to be)."
Okay, I can see that. -- hg.

"I have another problem with the spy!Percy theory. Why doesn't the
truth come out, after Fudge admitts that Voldie is back. No need
anymore for Percy, to work as a spy. Or maybe Dumbledore still
doesn't trust Fudge completely and told Percy, to continue his part
as a spy?"
hg:
My first response to that would be that there is little time from
Fudge "getting it" that LV is back, to the end of the book.
Additionally, Fudge may feel even MORE threatened by Dumbledore now,
when the Daily Prophet has been calling DD a crazy old loon all year,
and now look who was right (DD) and who should have been protecting
us from LV all this time (Fudge).
To take it further, how on earth is Fudge going to respond? We've
seen his befuddled announcement to the WW in the DP, will he now
start wondering about everyone on his staff -- who's playing who and
all that? He's going to be a nervous wreck, and that's scary.
