I'm not so sure at all! I alway have the feeling that JKR tries to present things like death and war in a rather realistic way. When Sirius died, there were no tragic last words, no goodbye etc, he was simply gone in a instant. The same can be said about war: deaths of innocent people, thoughtless followers, traitors to both sides, allies and enemies you'd never have imagined, loss of loved ones etc. I think having to stand up agaist a family members is another important element of war, and so I think Percy won't "come back" that soon. I think he'll either die himself or come back because of his loyality to the ministry results in a death of another Weasley. Or Penelope...whatever.
