[HPforGrownups] Is There A Young Mundungus Fletcher?

No: HPFGUIDX 41711

Okay, let's see if *this* goes through. ::is getting massively annoyed::

a "young" Mundungus?<<<<<<<<<<

Quite possibly <g> As you may have guessed from this list, JKR could mean just about *anything* when she says something.

Phyllis:

>>>>>>>>>>  It also seems strange to me that Dumbledore 
would be summoning someone to help him fight Voldemort who, from the 
few references we've had, appears fairly batty (he tries to put a hex 
on Arthur Weasley for no apparent reason and makes a crazy World Cup 
claim in GoF).<<<<<<<<<<<

I don't think so... Dumbledore himself is, in Percy's words, "Mad? He's a genius! Best wizard in the world! But he is a bit mad, yes." (PS/SS) Arabella Figg, if she is the Ms. Figg of Harry's childhood, initially comes off as being a weird, cat-obsessed old woman. Old Mundungus is probably much the same way -- the "old crowd" may be partially composed of people who are very powerful, yet edging slightly off to left field :-)

Genius *and* insanity are closely related, after all...
