the DADA classroom. Harry's reaction would be fun to read. It also 
might spur some questions in Harry's mind - like why exactly was 
there a witch living so very close to him, and why did she never tell 
him she wasa  witch. The Dumbledore Tells All (about Arabella <eg>) 
scene might occur shortly afterward.

Or it could be something simpler. If we take that the flower-bed 
image is Harry dreaming of his own funerals (So far, there's been a 
dream in beginning of nearly every book (flying motorcycle, just 
before zoo - Harry in cage; don't recall, but was there one in PoA? - 
and then the dream of Little Whingington from Frank Bryce-view) - so 
well, maybe it *is* a dream and he might mention it in a letter to 
Sirius.

Hedwig flys off and returns *shortly* with a reply where Sirius tells 
Harry to meet him at Figg's. Harry goes and meets also Remus Lupin, 
Mundungus Fletcher, Albus Dumbledore and Fawkes. Maybe Didalus 
Diggle, too. Perhaps Alastor Moody. I do think that Dumbledore might 
respond with a "sit down Harry, and I tell you everything" to Harry's 
surprise.

Oh, and Question Harry should have asked long time ago: "Why does Mrs 
Figg have so many cats?"
