Alla:


Absolutely. I do feel bad for him, even though right now I don't like 
him at all right now. I feel bad for him, because sometimes Rowling 
shows us that Percy is not a  total git, that he does love his family 
and I am hoping that not everything is lost for him.

"... but Percy, who looked very white and somehow much younger than 
usual, came splashing out to meet them.

Before OoP, I used to think that Percy just needs to lighten up. Of 
course, now I think he needs to do much more than that (like some 
serious apologising to his family).

I only hope that he will not consciously betray anybody to Voldie and 
that hypothetical somebody will not die.

Because if Percy will cause a death, I will not be able to feel 
sympathy for him anymore.
