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?"
