"Just finished re-reading GoF and have a query...

On p618 of the UK Ed of GoF Dumbledore is giving orders to everyone at
"The Parting of the Ways" and says the following to Sirius:

"Sirius, I need you to set off at once.  You are to alert Remus Lupin,
Arabella Figg, Mundungus Fletcher - the old crowd. Lie low at Lupin's
for a while, I will contact you there".

We know Lupin (DADA teacher, werewolf, Mooney - pal of the Potters),
we know Figg (weird old woman living next to Dursleys - Harry's
summertime bodyguard?) but who is Mundungus Fletcher?  Does he have a
Potter connection?  Does he have a part to play in protecting Harry as
well as helping Dumbledore fight LV?

I await your thoughts..."

AFAIK, the only time Mundungus Fletcher has been mentioned before is when Mr Weasley is returning home, exhausted after a night of raids (CoS, I think), and says that old Mundungus Fletcher tried to put a hex on him... I don't know, apart from that, but I'm guessing we will find out when OoP comes out.

New places:

JKR has said, somewhere, that Book 5 will see Harry going to some new places and exploring some places he's just been to briefly a bit more thoroughly.. I think. Any ideas on what this could be?
