Though Percy was in Gryffindor, he was more Slytherinish. He hated
his father for not giving up THAT ATTITUDE. He started living alone
and away from his brothers, in his own room because of the fact that
they were also supporting his father and mother.

You know, there actually is a lot about Percy that we don't really 
know. There must be some reason he was originally sorted into 
Gryffindor. Perhaps the hat can somehow tell that Percy will do the 
right thing in the end.  

I think that Percy has made a huge mistake. In trying to get some 
recognition for himself, he has forgotten his values. I think that he 
will eventually realize what he has done, as well as gotten himself 
into, and he will then do the right thing-JMO.

I also have a feeling that his mother will die, hopefully not because 
of some stupid thing Percy does. She may even die trying to save his 
rear end, who knows.

If Percy has been working for DD this whole time then he is even 
braver than Snape, who has the security of the castle to keep him 
safe at night. There are a couple of things that stick out about 
Percy in OOTP. During Harry's trial, Dumbledore did not dare look at 
Harry directly. We later find out that DD could not let Voldemort 
know how close he was to Harry. (I still don't understand what this 
comment by Dumbledore really means. Even Harry seems confused by DD's 
statement.) JKR also makes a point to tell us (several times) that 
Percy never looks at Harry during the trial. We take that to mean 
that Percy just refuses to acknowledge Harry, but what if it's 
something else?  

Did DD tell Percy not to look at Harry because Voldemort would know 
that he was secretly working for the Order? How about the letter to 
Ron? Percy seems to be keeping close tabs on his family, even though 
he appears to have written them off. Was that letter just for show? 
Percy knows that all the mail at the school is being read by 
Umbridge. Was this letter meant to be read by her? Was he trying to 
mislead Umbridge into believing that he was on the ministry's side? 

Percy is now considered an adult right? Could DD have asked him to 
work covertly for the Order after he finished school?...we just don't 
know.
