About Percy: perhaps. I do hope you'll be proven right, in the end.

His letters home have mentioned the Head Girl. He has a grudging admiration for her energy and ambition, but he does not like her. I get the impression, from what he says, that most of the students are more than a little afraid of her. He apparently crosses wands with her in almost every other Prefect meeting, and I think that's mostly because he's one of the few who will. And he says ruefully that he doesn't win very often.
