Thank you so much for your gorgeous review. I think Percy definitely has a thing for power/his superiors so it's easy to imagine him having a thing for Kingsley.
As for Molly's gloves-in spite of the eww factor we just had to do it (the pink ones too). And even though Wizards don't clean the Muggle way, they do more than just swish and flick generally (ie the dishes aren't just clean *poof* but they are washed aided by magic).
I can't say we ever considered a sequel but I'd like to see Kingsley's reaction to finding out about Percy's little fetish. *g*
As for the gloves behavior-mmm, I think most of it is in Percy's head but I can see the pairs each retaining a bit of their owners personality.
