I have three words for you:  Fred and George.

Never mind Molly, or the fact that Penelope was Muggle-born (and I agree 
that Molly wouldn't care, and don't think Percy would even *think* she would 
care).  Percy was keeping his affair quiet to avoid the amount of 
aggravation he would get from his siblings, and Fred and George in 
particular.  Even real-life families can be obnoxious about their siblings' 
love lives (says the oldest of four children), and it is clear from the 
expressions on the twins' faces when they finally find out about Percy and 
Penelope that they intend to take full advantage of the situation.
