I am Woman--what's that got to do with it! Not Molly's problem but Percy's...

Percy wasn't keeping things from his family because of a percieved
lecture from Molly, more so I believe he was keeping to himself
because he didn't want to give F&G any more ammunition to use
against him, and Molly would probably slip up at some time. Percy
has always shown that he was embarassed about his family and the way
that would affect his abilities to "climb the drapes". Is that
Molly's fault?

> Sounds like you are accusing Percy. 
They are both imperfect, but my theory draws on the canon closeness 
between them to suppose that Percy was a highly aware young man who 
managed to attune to and perceive his mothers personal battle with 
her isolation as a "Blood Traitor". snip

vmonte now:
It makes more sense that Percy kept his relationship with Penelope 
quiet because HE was embarassed about his girl friend. It seems to me 
that Percy has always done what he likes. He doesn't seem to be the 
kind of person who fears hurting or offending his family. Percy is 
not a highly aware man, at least not with regards to his family. He 
is a man that is only highly aware of himself, and what affects him 
directly. (Come on don't you know people like this?) He didn't seem 
to care one bit about his father who was dying (for all he knew) in 
the hospital. Do you really think that he didn't go to the hospital 
because of a family fight? Or could it really be that he didn't want 
to hurt his chances of moving up the ladder at work?! 

Why would Percy's actions, regarding anything, have to do with his 
mother?  What's his excuse for not going to see his father at the 
hospital?  And please don't tell me it was because of his mother 
because I think that it is something else altogether. 

You never heard of people secretly dating people they believe are 
beneath them? Isn't it possible that Percy was ashamed of Penelope? 

Perhaps the only person in the Weasley family that is having a 
personal battle with being a "blood traitor" is ONLY Percy.
