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 wizard who gave up camping due to his lumbago. Mrs. Figg is later revealed to be 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 wizards probably would have died out if they had not inter-married with non-magical humans. Being that Mrs. Figg was raised among wizards, however, she knows their ways and 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 scent while 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. In fact, readers should take note, though Harry will not, when Dumbledore later mentions someone named Arabella Figg.

 

 

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, unethically attempts 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.
