Now this brings up a question. Ms. Figg is the lady that took care of Harry when the Dursleys went on vacation right? I haven't re-read OotP lately so maybe this was all explained there and I can't remember. Was is just a coincidence that Harry's babysitter was related to the magical world and the Dursley's never knew about it or was someone making sure Harry was staying with someone "magical" while younger. I remember Dumbledore mentioning at the end of GoF to gather "the old crew" and it included Figg.
I don't know what point I was trying to make. But maybe that Harry wasn't completely out of touch with the magical world when he was younger. Makes me think that Dumbledore instructed Petunia on the side to leave Harry with Figg. But then again... I'm probably just typing out of my @$$ right now.
