Crookshanks and Sirius Black (Crookshanks is Figg)

[Janie]

No: HPFGUIDX 27793

Does anyone else think that if crookshanks is Mrs Figg, then the cat 
could also be related to Arabella. If arabella actually turns out to 
BE mrs figg then this would be very logical as crookshanks arrived 
just when Harry was needing someone to protect him (or the magical 
community believed harry needed someone to protect him) from Sirius 
escaping, and this could be the person! (if that makes any sense, 
feel free to comment on it!!!)
