Driving home from a long road trip I got to thinking about Mrs. Figg and who she was before she married. We don’t know a lot about her except that she is a dotty old lady who was stationed to watch over Harry, probably placed there by Dumbledore. I doubt she lived on Wisteria Walk before Harry arrived at the Dursley’s. The thing that struck me as the most odd about her was how did she become a part of the Old Crowd? Since she is a squib, she didn’t attend Hogwarts, but obviously knows Dumbledore and has a significant position of trust.



Why would she be a member of the Order in the first place? Being a squib all she can do is blend in with the muggles. A witch or wizard who’s taken muggle studies could be used for that. She wasn’t useful when Harry got attacked by the Dementors. She didn’t have a way to contact The Order until Dung came back. Yes, she communicates with her cats, and she uses them as spies, yet they can’t do magic either. But, if she is related to Dumbledore, the head of the Order, I’m sure she has ways to contact family members. 



Introducing my M.A.D. theory. Miss Arabella Dumbledore. 



It would make sense if she were Dumbledore’s little sister. Consider their names. We have Albus, Aberforth, and now Arabella. Now, before you start posting about how weak that is, remember the Lucius/Lupin connection Pippin came up with, and the missing “D” child of the Weasley’s. * And * Harry says she’s a “mad old lady.” :o) (ss/ps pg 22 scholastic).



So there you have it, do with it what you will, but be gentle, this is my first theory.

Not a bad theory compared to some we see here. 

One significant advantage Miss Figg had was that she was not known to the Wizarding World generally, but Fudge seems to have ruined that
