1Same question could be asked about how Dumbledore knew of the Dementors in Little Whinging in OOTP. I've wondered about this before -- it's a good question!– SlytherincessCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 3:20

2Didn't Mrs. Figg pass word to Dumbledore about the dementors?– Joe WhiteCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 12:32

I'm not sure, actually. She might have. I'll check OOTP and get back to you on that.– SlytherincessCommented Aug 8, 2013 at 23:42

4As it turns out, it was Mundungus Fletcher who was dispatched to inform Dumbledore about the Dementor attack on Harry and Dudley. Mrs. Figg was a Squib, so she had none of the usual means of magical communication at her disposal, although Harry did offer to lend her Hedwig to send Dumbledore a note. She thought it wouldn't be quick enough.– SlytherincessCommented Aug 8, 2013 at 23:49

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
