In PS/CS ch 2, Harry describes Mrs Figg as "a mad old
lady who lived
two streets away", and he says her "whole house
smelled of cabbage". In
CoS ch 12, Harry drinks Polyjuice Potion and thinks
"it tasted like
overcooked cabbage". That was enough to convince many
readers that
Arabella isn't an old lady at all.

Sparrow:
This is a fine a theory as any of the others, but
really, we have to think of the fact that cabbage is a
funny thing, not to mention nasty.

Me: But, Harry also said the apothecary smelled like cabbage, so that leads me to believe that potion ingredients in general smell like cabbages.  So possibly, if you noticed this conncection in PS/SS you would have known in the first book that Arabella Figg has some connection to potions and the WW.
