"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.

hickengruendler:
"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.
