Jaanis:
How much Percy may ignore the rules of life (as you called it), I 
think it was very rude of him to send his mother's Christmas present 
back.

Bookworm:
I have to agree with Jaanis here.  There was no apparent need for 
Percy to be that rude.

Steve/bboyminn:
He does everything right and tries his hardest to give Molly the 
least grief, and in his own way is reward by Molly for this.

Bookworm:
It's been my observation that children who try so hard to be that 
"good" have something in their background that causes that. 
(We have a young student at school that has been described by both 
the teacher and other parents as "very well behaved" and
"having the best manners" - unnaturally so.  His home life is 
extremely tumultuous, and this seems to be his way of coping.)  

So I wonder, what could have happened when Percy was a small child 
to cause this reaction?  He would have been five y/o at the time of 
Godric's Hollow; the twins would have been about three.  If 
something happened a couple of years before GH, the twins might have 
been too young to know about it, but Percy would be at a very 
impressionable age.  Charlie and Bill, by contrast, may have been 
old enough to put whatever it was into context, so it didn't
affect them the same way.  (Mr. Weasley's description of the Dark 
Mark at the QWC comes to mind.)
