Yes but no man is a villain in his own eyes.

I disagree, Percy happily took part in a proceeding that attempted to
destroy a boy and send him to Azkaban, a boy who had always been kind
to him and who saved his sister's life. Percy tried to destroy the
friendship between Ron and Harry. Percy refused his mother's Christmas
present and didn't visit his father in the hospital when he was near
death or even ask about him, then he called Umbrage "delightful". I
believe you could summarize all the good things Percy did in 6 books
in one short paragraph, the bad things would fill several chapters.

> Percy is misguided, but basically a good guy.

Would you say that if he had another last name? Just as good people
can come from bad families (Serious Black), bad people can come from
good families. And besides, a black sheep would be fun, our story does
not need another good Weasley, an evil Weasley is much more interesting.
