You to appreciate the way that while people mostly remember Percy being snooby for five books the background of his always being the butt of the family's jokes is there too-and that's just what Arthur's words must play into. Percy never hurts anyone when he's stuck up. His crime is basically being no fun. I just realized it's kind of a shame you never see any scenes where the family sticks up for him at all. So you don't even get the sense that they tease him but no one else is allowed to--on the contrary, they seem to have the most trouble with him.
One of the funny things about OotP is the way the good guys seem to take it for granted that everyone should see the truth, even while you see that there's no reliable news sources. They're feeding laws to the Prophet, and have gotten news from it in the past, but suddenly only idiots read it. Then they put the truth in a magazine that's completely rubbish, but everyone should now trust that one.
A funny thing about Hermione is how as usual, once they get away due to totaly luck (Grawp) her plan becomes brilliant and not, you know, something that almost got all of them killed too.
