He could be spying for Dumbledore by his own volition.
<snip> I just can't fathom any of the Weasley's being such a
turncoat. 


Bookworm:
As much as I dislike the idea, and unless JKR has kept some (more) 
info from us, I am afraid that Percy is just as ambitious and self-
centered as he appears.  The question Lisa is referring to was asked 
at a time when "Percy was Imperio'd" theories abounded.  As I 
understood it, JKR was responding to those - that Percy was rational 
and responsible, not literally controlled by someone else.
