Del replies :
For that matter, I can't figure out what was the point of that letter
*in any case*. 

If Percy was trying to send a secret message to the Trio, then he
failed  miserably (unless Hermione's strange reaction has to do with
the fact that she caught something in the letter that the boys missed).

If Percy was genuine, then what was the point of the letter ? It
didn't tell us anything we didn't know yet or wouldn't learn anyway.
The only obvious reason for that letter is to show to the Trio
firsthand how far Percy had strayed. And I don't like that reason :-)
