You know...we don't know much about Arabella Figg...how old she is
really (could be using Polyjuice Potion), how she was involved in the
*old gang*, etc.  It is possible she was a close friend of Lily's and
volunteered to keep watch over Harry at the Dursley's because of this
relationship.

Anita replies:
 When I saw Arabella Figg mentioned at the end of GOF, I presumed she had
been using polyjuice to "replace" old Mrs. Figg (Arabella's Muggle mother or
grandmother?) and was a contemporary of James and Lily.  That would explain
the cabbage smell in the house, and why she wasn't always available when the
Dursleys needed her.
