Del replies:
I quite agree.

Remember in CoS when Draco disrespects him ? Percy is all flustered,
because he cannot understand that Draco is not impressed by Percy the
Prefect. He tells him to respect his authority, but he doesn't think
of *using* that authority. What he wants is respect, not power. But
because he thinks respect is a consequence of social power, he goes
after power.
