"I do believe in the usual versions that it was Galahad that died and went onto heaven with Percival staying on to become the next Fisher King(in the ones that didn't have the grail taken into heaven) and with Sir Bors the third knight returning to Camelot."

The only version I have here on hand is "The Once and Future King," which certainly takes some liberties with the traditional story, but in it Bors, Galahad, and Percival are able to enter the chapel where the Grail is and Lancelot has to stay behind because he isn't pure.

But, to bring this back on topic what does this say about Percy, if he is based on Percival?  What is the Holy Grail in the Potterverse?  Am I going a little too far with this allagory?  Probably, but I don't think that the Weasley's Arthurian connection can possibly be a coincidence.
