Subject: MRS FIGG'S SPECULATIONS- Author: contributor [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:07:13 01/10/03 Fri < p align="center"> MRS FIGG'S SPECULATIONS- A LOT means Lot of people have e-mailed me and speculated about Mrs. Figg, and her involvement in Book 4. If you haven't already caught it, here's what's creating the stir: In Book 1, we learn that Harry has had to go to Mrs. Figg's house every time the Dursleys go on a fun trip. She's described as "a mad old lady who lived two streets away.....made him look at photographs of all the cats she'd ever owned." Now go to Book 4, and near the end when Dumbledore is speaking to Sirius: " Sirius, I need you to set off at once. You are to alert Remus Lupin, Arabella Figg, and Mundungus Fletcher (someone who we have only heard of a few times) Is it possible that old Mrs. Figg, the mad old lady, is really a witch? This is the debate. It might also shed some light on why Dumbledore seems to think there is some sort of protection around the Dursley's house. If she is a powerful witch, as it is kind of suggested in Book 4, it is odd, however, that in Book 1 she is described as using crutches. Is she a witch? Or was this simply a mistake in using the same name twice by Rowling? She is a Mrs., but I don't think Arabella is a man's name. Also, here's something to think about: Here's another thought......is it possible that perhaps Mrs. Figg is Harry's Secret Keeper? This would be another possible explanation for the protection around the Dursley's house. That's all so far on the Figg speculations.
