This also caught my attention.  I immediately remembered the time when
Harry first stepped foot in the Weasley's tent in GoF, when its smell
reminds him strongly of Mrs. Figg's house.  Also, there are several
references to Mrs. Figg's many cats and I wonder what exactly are the
magical properties of cats?  Crookshanks was able to recognize Sirius the
Animagus and helped him as a result.  Perhaps cats have something to do
with this ancient magic?  Or Dumbledore could have invoked the Fidelius
Charm once again with Arabella Figg as Harry's Secret Keeper?
