I, too, wanted Percy to be a spy and had thought he was when I first 
read OoP.  But no.  In an interview...

... JKR was asked by Echo: "Was Percy acting entirely of his own
accord in Order of the Phoenix?"  JK Rowling replied, "I'm afraid  
so."
 
 
 
 
Toni responded:
I don't see why Percy acting of his own accord has to be contrary to 
his working for the Order.  I understood JKR's answer to that
question to mean that he wasn't acting under the Imperius Curse.
 
Kemper again:
Toni, I see how you can interpret it that way.  I took "I'm afraid 
so" to include the tone of "I'm so sorry for writing such an anally 
lame character, but what can you do?"
