Speculation on Percy's Prospects

Cleverwitch :
I agree with joyfulstoryteller about Percy's future, but fear that the deaths he will cause will be those of Fred and George rather than that of Dumbledore. It has been obvious all through the 
series that Percy is all about law and order, while the twins have a very cavalier attitude toward the rules. 


FanofMinerva: 
While Percy is ambitious, etc., the Sorting Hat must have "sorted 
through" these characteristics and found something more, placing him in Gryffindor.  Could it be that we have yet to see these lion-
traits in Percy?





Upon further reflection, I have to agree with Cleverwitch that Fred &
George may be in much greater danger from Percy than Dumbledore is. 
Not only have they flouted authority (Umbridge in particular), but
they have clearly decided to show off about it by making a truly
spectacular exit from Hogwarts.  They chose to NOT FINISH SCHOOL, a
decision that Percy probably can't comprehend, and did it with panache.

I do hope that Percy will redeem himself with his Gryffindor qualities
(he must have them, as mentioned by FanofMinerva), but I suspect that
he may have to  go overboard first.  Perhaps being the cause of the
death (or even the harm) of a family member would lead him to see the
error of his ways.

Thanks for the discussion, and sorry if there are too many parentheses!
