I agree. this is a theory I have been pondering for a while, as well. It just 
doesn't jive with me either that Arabella would have taking polyjuice for so 
long-- and furthermore there have to be some negative effects from taking 
something like that for such an extended amount of time. I like to think that 
there is a connection between her and Sirius- even if not a relative, 
certainly a friend or mentor? 

The fact that Frigg lives two streets over makes me think of something too- 
Harry is protected by magic when he is at home with the Dursleys. Perhaps 
there are more wizards and witches around the neighbourhood that set a 
barrier between Voldie and Harry... A shield of magic.

And, on the cabbage smell... Maybe Mrs Frigg just really enjoys a plate of 
corned beef and cabbage every day ;)
