Template:HP Character Arabella Doreen Figg is a character in the Harry Potter series. She is first mentioned as "Mrs Figg," a caretaker of young Harry in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. She has a lifelong love of cats and often shows her photos of these cats to Harry, much to his displeasure.
Though she maintaints a good Muggle cover, Mrs Figg is actually one of the luckier Squibs. She "does a roaring trade" in cross-bred cats and kneazles, their magical variant. Mrs Figg even belongs to the Order of the Phoenix and functions as Dumbledore's Muggle liaison.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Professor Albus Dumbledore refers to "Arabella Figg" as part of "the old crowd", giving the first clues of her true identity. Author J. K. Rowling confirmed that the two characters are the same person, placed near Harry's childhood home to keep an eye on him.
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix she "sees" two dementors attack Harry Potter and his cousin Dudley Dursley and intentionally blows her cover. When the Ministry of Magic tries to have Harry expelled from Hogwarts for using magic to save himself, Mrs Figg's testimony before the Wizengamot is crucial in allowing Harry to continue his studies. She also reveals that she deliberately made Harry's stays unpleasant so that the Dursleys would continue to send him to her.
According to J. K. Rowling's website (http://www.jkrowling.com), Squibs are actually incapable of seeing dementors. However, Mrs. Figg was familiar with the negative feelings caused by those creatures, so she was able to testify on Harry's behalf before the Wizengamot without committing perjury, although she apparently lied about being able to see the dementors.fr:Mrs Figg
