Or what if "Mrs. Figg" turns out to not be Mrs. Figg at all, but is a Death
Eater polyjuicing himself/herself as Mrs. Figg? Or what if thats what we are
meant to think, but really she just likes to eat lots of cabbage?

The world of Harry Potter is so schrouded with mystery, I never know what to
believe.
