Dondee:
Mrs.Figg is Arabella Doreen Figg, Harry's "batty old cat-obsessed
neighbor" of Privet Drive. I think you have a very interesting
argument for her being a sister to Albus and Aberforth except that she
only ever refers to Dumbledore as Dumbledore; you would think if he
was her brother she would refer to him with the more intimate Albus.

I have enjoyed Mrs. Figg since PS/SS with the whole leg breaking
incident and have always hoped she would get more 'screen time.' IMO
she gives the best comic relief after a scary moment in any of the
books when she chews out Mundungus and wacks him with a shopping bag
full of catfood tins. What a great ol' gal.

Cheers, Dondee
