And when Penelope ends up getting Petrified and Ginny is taken in the Chamber?
And of course, there's the idea that he's been 'replaced' in the family by Harry. Who's sort of the favourite 'son', at least in Molly's eyes, where Percy apparently was previously. And then goes on to save Percy's sister and rescue his girlfriend (so to speak - the Mandrakes would have brought back the Petrified whether the monster was caught or not, iirc); becomes his brothers' patron; and judging by HBP and JKR's comments, will end up joining the Weasley family through Ginny. Oh, and being famous has more influence than Percy - isn't there some moment where Fudge is fawning over Harry, and Percy's looking on enviously, in GoF?
