Though [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arabella Figg|Mrs. Figg]] will play a significant, and unexpected, role later in the series, Harry noticing that the tent's interior looks and smells much like her house may or may not be incidental. There is a certain odour that seems common to older peoples' homes, particularly those owning cats, and, despite the similarity, it is unlikely that the author is dropping hints that Mrs. Figg was the tent's former owner. We are told that it previously belonged to a Ministry Wizardwizard who gave up camping due to his lumbago. AmongMrs. other things, itFigg is alsolater doubtfulrevealed thatto a Wizard would marrybe a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Squib|Squib]], a non-magical offspring born to wizards. And though a wizard is unlikely to marry such a person, who is considered almost an outcast, they are known to wed Muggles. Ron once mentioned that Wizardswizards probably would have died out if they had not inter-married with non-magical humans. OnBeing the other hand,that Mrs. Figg, being a Squib, was raised among Wizardswizards, andhowever, she knows their ways. Sheand likely uses the same goods, merchandise, and decorations in her own home that are commonly found in many Wizarding households. Harry had previously noticed that peculiar smell inwhile inside Mrs. Figg's residence, and the familiar odour in the tent may be a subtle clue to readers that Mrs. Figg is tied to the magical community.

Mr. Crouch's continual failure to recognize Percy Weasley, his own employee, may have some magical reason. However, the author never fully answers this. We will later find that Mr. Crouch is labouring under a spell that could cause this effect. However, this chapter precedes that spell being invoked. Given that, it is more likely that it is simple absent-mindedness coupled with arrogance and a total disregard for subordinates; Crouch simply fails to notice his underlings, in this case "Weatherby".

Ludo's "little flutter" will, indeed, turn out to be ill-advised. Ludo will end up owing more than he has, and later tries to recoup his losses by making more bets with the Goblins, who are his major creditors. That bet will be on Harry to win the Triwizard Tournament, and throughout the book, Ludo, a Tournament judge, will unethically tryattempts to better his chances of winning by secretly offering Harry hints. Harry, believing that accepting assistance from a Tournament judge is cheating, steadfastly refuses Ludo's proffered advice, though he does accept help from others.

Mr. Weasley's asking Harry, rather than Hermione, for help with the camping gear will be even less well-advised than we had previously expected. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], Hermione mentions that the places she takes the Trio to are actually camping sites she and her parents visited; of course, Harry has never been camping, as the Dursleys would dislike the untidiness of an unmanicured outdoors, nor would Harry likely have been included, even if they did engage in such activities.

It is interesting to contrasthow Mr. Weasley's handlinghandles of thethis knowledge withcompared to Percy's. Likely the secret will have reached Bill, Charlie, and Molly Weasley through ArthurMr. Weasley; Percy may have learned it through ArthurMr. Weasley as well, or through Mr. Crouch. Whatever its source, Percy continually alludes to the secret, inapparently the apparent hope thathoping he will be able to refuse to divulge it. ArthurMr. Weasley, though privy to the secret, never mentions it, andnor does nothe respond when Percy does. MollyMrs. Weasley, Charlie, and Bill do eventually mention it, but notonly untilwhen it is too late for questions; we must assume that this is a deliberate revelation by the author, intended to heighten anticipation for the events, whatever they may turn out to be.
