Arabella Figg is a supporting character in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Background[]
Arabella used to babysit Harry whenever the Dursleys went to other places that they didn't want Harry to tag along with them. She used to make Harry's life miserable when he visited but this was only because she needed to keep him under her care to keep an eye on him due to being under instruction from Dumbledore.
Personality[]
In Harry Potter's youth, the Dursleys left him in Mrs Figg's care at least once a year,[10] and during their time together, she had often forced him to look endlessly at photos of "all the cats she'd ever owned".[3] In 1995, she admitted that, though she didn't enjoy it, she had intentionally kept Harry bored and miserable, as the Dursleys would never have left him with her if they thought he enjoyed it. Though Harry only thought of her as his "batty old cat-obsessed neighbour" before discovering she was a Squib, she appeared to be a clever woman with a bit of a temper. She physically attacked Mundungus Fletcher when he left his post of watching Harry Potter, and prior to that, had been quite sarcastic, even slightly insulting, during her conversation with Harry.
She appeared nervous, even timid, during Harry's disciplinary hearing, though that was likely due to the stigma surrounding being a Squib, as well as the fact that she had to testify before the entire Wizengamot. Regardless, she was a brave, vigorous woman, who, despite her lack of magical ability, did her best to support the Order of the Phoenix. Arabella felt rather offended when she found out that the Ministry did not register her in their records due to her status as a Squib.
