Khác biệt giữa bản sửa đổi của “Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arabella Figg”

'''''Arabella Doreen Figg''''' is [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter/|Harry Potter]]'s neighbor on [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]], who often watches him when the Dursleys are on some fun outing or other, such as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dudley Dursley|Dudley]]'s birthday parties. She is a classic old lady with too many cats.

At the very end of the book, when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] is sending people off on missions, he tells [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black/|Sirius Black]] to get in touch with "the old crowd", and explicitly mentions Arabella Figg as one of that group. The reader doesn't notice the name going by, as who would connect batty old Mrs. Figg with her cats to the world of magic?

Arabella Figg is a Squib, and as such her relationships with the rest of the Wizarding world are of a very uneven sort; most pity her because she is part of their world, yet unable to partake, being unable to do any sort of magic. [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=19 The author has said] that Arabella does have a "roaring business" breeding cat-Kneazle hybrids like [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Crookshanks/|Crookshanks]]; it is possible that Crookshanks came from Mrs. Figg originally, but that cannot be certain.

A popular theory for why Mrs. Figg is selected as guard for Harry is that no one could detect their magical power because Arabella is a Squib and Harry is underage. Harry's being underage would, of course, be no bar to the detection of his use of magic, as is amply demonstrated when the Ministry for Magic warns him about the use of magic in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 2|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']]. Perhaps a better explanation is Dumbledore's sympathy for the non-magical. It is likely Dumbledore who managed to get [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Argus Filch/|Argus Filch]] a job as caretaker of the castle at Hogwarts, a job which is one of the few in the Wizarding world of which he is capable; likewise, this watchman job is one suited to Mrs. Figg's lack of Magical ability.
