When Harry received his first protest letter from the ministry it said
he was already expelled and wizards would be arriving soon to destroy
his wand, and then they said this:

"we regret to inform you that your presence is required at a
disciplinary hearing at the Ministry of Magic at 9 a.m. on the twelfth
of August."

Clearly somebody at the ministry thought expulsion and a broken wand
was not sufficient punishment. I have no doubt Umbridge would love to
send Harry to Azkaban for life, Fudge too probably; and when the
Dementors were dragging the boy who saved his sister's life away to
suffer a hideous fate I have no doubt Percy would just smile at Fudge
and say "very good minister". 

let me ask again a question that I received no answer to, would anyone
bother to mount such a ferocious defense of Percy if he had a
different last name?

Yes, really.
