Alla states:
I don't think that Percy is a lost cause, not at all at least at 
that point, but I believe that he is the one who has to do major 
soul searching if he wants to reconcile with his family, NOT the 
other way around.
 
Molley here:
I don't know at this point if the Weasley family would accept his attempts
to reconcile were he to make any.  Percy has been hateful, arrogant, pompous
and hurtful and while the whole family feels the sting, I think Molly has
been hurt the worst.  The other kids have not only had to deal with their
own emotions regarding Percy's rejection of the family, but they've been
there to witness their parent's heartbreak first hand.  I hope I'm wrong
here, but I'm afraid when Percy left the way he did, he locked the door,
threw away the key and burned the bridge that got him there. 
	The ONLY circumstance in which I see Percy being accepted back into
the fold except by his mother and (probably with reluctance) his father is
if he was acting under an imperious curse from LV or Pettigrew.  Even then,
I don't know that his siblings will ever entirely trust or accept him again.
