Oh argh.  I don't know.  It was one of these things I was completely certain
of, but I have no idea where even to start looking for it.  The phrase
"two-time duelling champion" is definitely there in my mind -- I'm not
confusing it with the remark in CoS that Flitwick was once "a duelling
champion" in his youth.  But as far as associating it with Mrs. Figg goes, I
can only think that I got it out of a JKR interview somewhere.

Anybody else remember this?  Or am I delusional?
