Well, while I'm not sure Percy is a spy, I don't think he'd become 
useless just because the MOM is now on the order side (which I'm not 
entirely sure of, either). He could still spy on all (un)suspected DE 
and DE sympathizers, for example. I doubt all LV supporters have been 
outed (was McNair present in the MOM raid? I can't remember). He 
could voice some purebloodist theories or something; I bet LV 
supporters would try to recruit him and they'd be found out. 

And I think DD has doubts about the MOM. He'd do well to have a spy 
there to keep an eye on things. Percy would be in a wonderful 
position for this.

Romulus Lupin, who's starting to defend theories he doesn't believe 
in. Very bad sign!
