<<"Mrs. Figg's house smells of cabbage. Cabbage? Well, of course, 
this could just be to stress how old she is (I know quite a 
few "people of age" who have adopted a rather curious odor closely 
akin to cabbage), OR, adding to the pot the fact that we "know" she 
is a witch (the very same Arabella Figg mentioned in GoF), maybe the 
smell isn't cabbages at all, but brewing potions!">>

<<following on from that, instead of Mrs Figg being someone Snape is 
in love with etc... What if Mrs Figg is Snape's *mother*? After all, 
Dumbledore doesn't state that the 'old crowd' have to be around 
Lupin, Black and Snape's age.>>


Mrs. Figg as Snape's mother...interesting.  And Snape could be 
jealous that his mother abandoned him to go watch over Harry.  I'm 
just imagining grown child Severus still living with his mother...and 
she lays out clean robes for him and makes his bed every morning.  
That's why his hair is always greasy!! Mum used to shampoo, trim and 
style it, but she left and he couldn't do it for himself.

No, no, that's just creepy.  I don't buy it.
