significant characters in English history - the Nevilles. The other
family were their traditional enemies  and produced generation after
generation of traitors and troublemakers - their name? Percy.

power and him being "seduced" into the DE.  This could be done by
power (making him think that he is gaining it) or even actually
"seducing" him in (Madame Lestrange).  I like the later for this
theory because that would give Neville a personal reason to go after
Percy, personally.  Or, maybe as a DE he goes after Gran??  How would
that play on the Neville/Ron relationship?  Could Ron see the whole
thing objectively or would he still back his brother?  Could this in
turn play on the Ron/Harry relationship?

For those listees horrified by the thought of a Weasley gone bad I can
see a way of avoiding ESE!Percy, he may well be an example of:

'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to
do nothing.'
Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton.

In this he contrasts well with Neville because Neville always tries to
do what he can/must even when he appears to have little chance of success.
