Potioncat:
Yes, it's pretty ironic that the good son is now the bad guy and the 
troublemakers are now heroes.  I know in much of the books, the Trio 
were trying to avoid Percy, but Percy was, afterall, just enforcing 
rules.

Potioncat:
I agree here too. Whether this was a sincere rift in the family, or 
whether Percy is playing a role, I think it will work out before the 
end of the book.  But I do not think Percy is evil, nor that he 
would side with the Death Eaters.
