McGonagall and Mrs Figg

My theory, or ponder - is Mrs Figg McGonagall sister?

1) At the very end of the first chapter in OoP Mrs Figg 
wears "Tartan carpet slippers."  McGonagall is often sporting Tartan 
garments.

2) Mrs Figg LOVES cats! she talks to her cats. And McGonagall is an 
animugus (Sorry if i spelt it wrong) who tranformes into a cat. See 
the uncanny correlation between the two characters?

3) What *was* Mrs Figgs maiden name anyway? We don not know? We know 
(presume) that McGonagall isn't married. Prehaps Mrs figg was once a 
Miss McGonagall?

4) They are both quite old. 

5) Plus - just a little point hardly worth mentioning - Why does Mrs 
Figg look out for Harry and not some other Squib? Is it prehaps 
because M.McGonagall (who is a protector of Harry) also got her 
Sister to help her protect him?


I really hope that this hasnt been discussed before but i did have a 
look in the archive before posting this.
