No, you're not the only one who likes Mrs. Figg.I once wrote an entire
fan fiction where Mrs. Figg was a major character; I thought the story
was rather good, but I'm prejudice, it might have been crap. Anyway,
my story started at the exact instant that book 4 ended. In my story
Dumbledore and Figg had been married for about 70 years and they had 6
kids and dozens of grandchildren. But I wrote my story right after
book 4 came out, so when book 5 and 6 appeared I learned that my Figg
and Rowling's Figg were rather different. However they both had heart
and they both had guts. My story is now obsolete, a fossil, but I like
to think a fossil with a little class. But I may be deluding myself.

I would imagine Figg thought as Dumbledore thought that Harry being
abused by the Dursleys was preferable to the only alternative, Harry
being dead. But I've challenged you on this and other points before
and you never responded; I doubt if you will defend yourself this time
either.
