Bookworm:
A purrfectly good connection.  The only issue I see with it is that 
Harry has spent a lot of time at Mrs. Figg's house when the Dursleys 
wanted to get rid of him for a while.  Wouldn't he have noticed some 
overlooked item, or indication that a man either lived at the house 
or spent a lot of time there? To completely sanitize the house 
everytime Harry was there would take a lot of effort.

(What a riot -- purrfectly -- hope Perkins isn't allergic!)

I dunno, Bookworm. I don't think 12-13 year old boys notice things 
like that, do they? I mean, I am sure Mrs. Figg wouldn't have left 
Mr. Perkins' trousers or something on the living room rug, but I 
imagine there could have been some "manly" things around that Harry 
just assumed belonged to the dear, departed MR. Figg.

By the way, while we are on the subject of Mr. Perkins, did the books 
mention somewhere that he is a warlock? In the passages I quoted in 
my post he is referred to as a "wizard," but it seems I remember 
somewhere that he was called a warlock. Does anyone else have a 
better memory than I have?

Thanks,
Bohcoo
