[edit] Trivia

• Percy is commonly believed to be short for Percival, an Arthurian character: there seems to be somewhat of a running theme of Arthurian legend in some Weasley family names. However, Percy is also an independent name, originally taken from the Percy family. In the trial from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, he is identified as "Percy Ignatius Weasley", indicating "Percy", not "Percival", as his full first name. Nonetheless, it is interesting to note that Percival is a middle name of Albus Dumbledore.
• His middle name, Ignatius, probably comes from Ignatius Prewett (the husband of Lucretia Black), a member of the Prewett family who appears to be an uncle of Molly Weasley and her brothers Gideon and Fabian.
• He passed 12 OWLs: given that Hermione required a time-turner to take twelve subjects in PoA, it is likely that Percy also required one (unless, somehow, he was able to timetable his lessons without needing to manipulate time).
