Mrs. Figg as babysitter

[Bugg]

No: HPFGUIDX 15357

Witches and Wizards live considerably longer than muggles. Hagrid is 
in his 60's and Dumbledore is over 100. 11 years isn't as long a time 
as it is to muggles. Rowling only sneaks in what she wants so we may 
find out she prepared Harry a little. We also do not know if she 
stayed in the house that often. She could apparate to Hogsmeade 
occationally. I agree that we don't really know if she broke her leg. 
She may have stopped an attack or just wanted Harry to go to the zoo. 

Two questions: 
1) What about Mrs. Figg teaching DADA? If Dumbledore trusted her 
there she must be good. 
2) What about marrying a muggle even though you may double thier 
lifespan? I don't know if I would like it.
