In either of the latter two cases, Ron would assume names already
given to the first Albus. But I wonder whether the Percival might not
have been added by Ron as a tribute to a certain git who died
redeeming past behaviour.

If Ron has been permanently marked by the brain as suggested, then
might this account for DD's amazing feats at NEWT level and indeed
thereafter? (And explain why Marchbanks made no connection between
perfectly average Ron and exceptional DD).

I also think that the name Percival is a tribute to Percy. I recently 
read somewhere that the actor who places Percy was told by JKR that 
Percy may redeem himself in the end.  

I've been thinking about the brain attack.  I do think that Ron will 
gain knowledge via someone elses memories, but I think that if he 
does become a Seer, it will not be because of the brain.  I think he 
may have this as a natural gift (or rather curse).  The brain may 
jump start this latent ability.  Who knows...

I was also thinking that if Ron goes back in time when he is 17, he 
may stay with a family there, since he is so young.  I've posted this 
thought before but what if he goes back in time and becomes Flamel's 
apprentice.  He could learn a lot from him right?  And maybe the 
brain that attacked him was Flamel's.  If so, he would know where to 
go and look for him in the past.  

One other comment, the Flamel's may learn to view Ron as part of 
their family.  The son they never had.  If so, it would make sense 
why DD kept the PS/SS at the school.  He may have been trying to 
protect his adoptive family.
