I can see why Arthur's happy at his job the way he is...but I can see why he drives Percy crazy. Not that it's Percy's business what kind of work ethic his dad has, but you can see why he loses it when Arthur suddenly tries to play the role of badass official who knows all. I think that's often probably a mistake with Arthur the way he's constantly interfering in things that have nothing to do with him and pulling strings when he shouldn't be...maybe that's supposed to come across as competance, but it doesn't.
With the Marauders and Snape I do always assume there's a big history there. I'd imagine there's another day where Snape can't help but hex James for no reason. That day it would just be Snape's fault.
If I was going to vote for who gets the most blame in general in OotP, it would definitely be Dumbledore. And then he ends the book with a big speech about how he's going to confess how much blame he has...and then goes on to blame everybody else.
