Ugh I'm such a nerd. I hadn't even considered the use of an Aging Potion & it 
could be a huge clue (as Rowling so often gives) from GoF. 

As far as a poor elderly lady trapped in a basement I don't think thats the 
case either. I just went with the assumption that since both Good & Evil 
characters seem to use the same magics in different ways & with different 
outcomes (like the Memory Charm thread) I figured Arabella Figg was not 
forcibly taking a persona, but indeed just borrowing one.

Aging Potion, eh? Really good point. Because of the 'not literal' clue I 
still believe she isn't who she appears to be.
