***Katie:
Perhaps. Or maybe it's because the Sorting Hat knew Percy really was 
brave and loyal. He proved to be both those things in the end, even 
though he had been sidetracked by ambition for a few years. He's still 
not my favorite guy, but I gained a lot of respect back for him by the 
end. Katie
