And Percy, of course, is estranged for doing nothing more than not toeing the family line - nevermind that all his mother ever wanted him to do is take a Ministry job - and then he had to practically beg forgiveness before they would talk to him.

He'd had no way of knowing the Ministry would end up the wrong side, and when push came to shove he chose the right side. He should've stayed estranged.

(Also notice that the twins, despite technically staying in the country and literally being able to teleport, somehow "never have time to come home for dinner". Uh-huh. That's the issue, time.)
