I really like that theory, and could fairly easily see Barty Snr as a Lady Catherine figure as well. I guess one of the main points of difference, which would take the characters in different developmental tangents is that Mr Collins seems quite oblivious to the Bennetts' ridicule whereas Percy is, if anything, hyper-aware of his 'outsider' status in his own family?
