Joey:

Um, I always thought Molly was pretty good to Percy. Wonder which instance you are referring to. She always seemed to consider that Percy is a role model for his siblings.

One wonders just how far this incident went in helping along the breakdown of Percy's relationships among his family.

Joey:

I do remember Fred and George mellowing down when Percy asked them to stop scaring Ginny in CoS. And they don't seem to spare anyone including themselves! Bill and Charlie did stop playing with the tables in air when Percy wanted some silence in GoF. So, I guess Percy might not have felt exactly friendless or constantly bossed over. Yet he might have expected his father to give him more support when his siblings teased him because I don't remember Arthur backing him up anywhere in the series.
