Montavilla47:

So simple. Percy Weasley.  He wears glasses, which I find very attractive. 
He's ambitious.  He's smart.  He has a good job.  And he knows how to act
around  potential parents-in-law (i.e., how to suck up to people).  

And hey, he knows up how to stand up to his own family, which might come in
handy if I decided I didn't *want* to spend Christmas hangiing out at the
Burrow.



Sherry now:
Though I don't like Percy much, in terms of just not someone that would
interest me as a friend or sweetheart, he has another quality that I admire
and would be good in presenting him to family, mine at least.  He is very
loyal when it counts and really does care about his family.  His reactions
to Ginny being taken into the Chamber and to Ron in the second task, had me
convinced throughout the series that he was not going to turn out to be
dark.  In spite of the arguments with his family, in the end, when it
mattered most, he was there, fighting with them and for them.  I think of
Percy as the character that I didn't like much but respected very, very
much!  In fact, recently, when I retired my guide dog and was waiting to
begin training with my successor dog and had to buy a white cane to continue
to get around independently, I named it Percy.  My explanation was that like
the character of Percy Weasley, I don't like my cane much, but I sure do
respect it!  LOL.
