Considering that we know that Crookshanks is part Kneazle, which is a 
distinctly non-human magical creature, it seems unlikely that he 
could also be a Witch. Mrs. Arabella Figg is a mystery in many ways, 
certainly--lived as a Muggle for a decade, has a weird thing with 
cats, has a house that smells like a Wizard's tent (which maybe it 
was!), feeds Harry chocolate cake that tastes like she's had it for a 
year, yet one of the old crowd of faithful supporters of Dumbledore 
and apparently someone to be called in when things get rough...I'm 
really looking forward to finding out more. 

And finding out if there's some signifigance to the names Mr. Paws, 
Tufty, and so on...
