Oh, I think Crookshanks will be important, too.  When the person 
asked this question in the chat, they listed Crook., McG's animagus, 
and all Mrs. Figg's cats.  I thought Mrs. Norris should have been in 
this list too, because, like Crook., I think there's something going 
on there.  They both seem to have some sort of powers, are not what 
they seem, etc.  Remember how Mrs. N seems to be able to see H in his 
invisibility cloak?

I went back and read my post, and I see I didn't make my thought very 
clear.  I didn't mean to imply that Mrs. Figg couldn't be of help 
because she's a squib, but that Mrs. Figg who occasionally babysits 
Harry is the same Arabella Figg from the 'old gang' that Dumble 
mentions.  I think they're the same person, not that Arabella is Mrs. 
Figg's daughter or something.  And, about the number of students, 
wouldn't there be four classes per year, at about 35 students per 
class?  I'm very glad you'll be in the aol chat, hope you get some 
more answers for us. <g>
