The old crowd

Just a little query about what our dear Dumbledore says at the end of 
GOF. He says, "Now i have work for each of you. Fudge's attitude, 
though not unexpected, changes everything. Sirius, I need you to set 
off at once. You are to alert Remus Lupin, Arabella Figg, Mudungus 
Fletcher --- the old crowd. Lie low at Lupin's for a while; I will 
contact you there." I know that Lupin is cool and all but i am a bit 
concerned that we just dont know enough about these other characters 
to assume that they will not say something along the lines of OH MY 
GOD!!! IT'S SIRIUS BLACK!!! STUPIFY!!! and then immediately call the 
ministry. We know of Mudungus Fletcher from the Quiddich Cup but i 
dont believe that arabella figg was mentioned prior to her summons 
from dumbledore. (I have a pretty good feeling that they were all of 
the same year/house as each other at 'ogwarts, but can we really 
trust that comradery after haveing graduated so long ago??) 

Just wondering
