Leah:  I'm not sure how Mrs Figg would have the lowdown on Harry's 
treatment by the Dursleys. I can't see either Harry or Petunia 
discussing the cupboard under the stairs with her.  
And 'participating 
in it (abuse) herself to a minor extent...' er, I think she shows 
him 
pictures of cats.  Unless he's totally allergic or phobic, which he 
clearly isn't, how on earth does this constitute child abuse?

Leah (who would have been perfectly happy as a child to have spent 
the 
afternoon with a number of cats both real and pictorial and would 
certainly have preferred it to a day trip with the Dursleys)
