True-- Although I wonder sometimes what kinds of things Snape 
had/has to do to gain/keep Voldemort's confidence.  I imagine that 
pretending to be a Death Eater has got to be a lot more unpleasant 
than saying what the Ministry wants to hear!

There's no denying that JKR has set Percy up as ambitious and overly 
fond of power.  I also rather like the term "prat" in reference to 
him.  But I have a really hard time with the idea that Percy would 
turn against his family and friends solely for the sake of 
ambition.  What I really love, however, is that we don't know.  
That's what makes Percy so interesting-- he's not a cardboard cutout 
of good/evil.
