 I agree that there are times where he shows actual concern. I am 
not trying to say he is inhuman, just a human with very flawed 
charater. In the 5th book, he does very cruel things to his mother. 
(refusing to see her, returning her christmas gift) She has always 
supported him, maybe even favored him in ways. And he goes about 
trashing his fathers name. I truly believe that the only reason he 
writes to Ron is because he has become prefect and to brag a little 
about how high he is in the ministry.I am afraid I have a bit of a 
personal vendetta against Percy. His ambition has very few equals in 
these books, and those are not good characters. And the potential 
peacemaking in HBP is IMO just a way to get Scrimgeour near Harry. I 
just see Percy as such a potential for LV to use to hurt somone that 
Harry cares about. I think I dislike him soo much because I love the 
Weasleys soo much. Harry would give anything to be in Percy's place 
and Percy squanders it all on a chance for a little power.
