Dumbledore tells Sirius to contact Arabella Figg, so Harry wouldn't 
automatically associate Arabella Figg with Mrs. Figg, plus he had 
rather *a lot* on his mind at the time, he may not even have really 
noticed this one statement.
Yeah, I wonder about the Mrs. thing too.  Is it part of her disguise, 
that she is an old widow (for that matter she could really be that 
old and look like that) that she takes the Mrs. title, or is she 
really married? 

What I find interesting is the fact that we know Mrs. Figg is 
Arabella Figg and a witch (or at least I don't see any other 
explanation for JKR's intervies comment "well spotted" on that 
subject) and the tent that the girls (I think it was the girls' tent 
I don't have my book in fornt of me)reminded Harry of Figg's house.  
Arthur borrowed it from Perkins (correct me if I'm wrong, again my 
book is not with me.  So is this a normal thing, for wizarding abodes 
to smell of cabbage and cats? Or is there some connection between 
Figg and that tent and/or Perkins?
