On this week's episode, we learn things are never as they appear to be as Ms. Figg reveals herself as a Dumbledore informant and Petunia recalls her last correspondence with the Wizarding World! Plus, there are owls... EVERYWHERE!

Welcome back, Meg!
Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 2: A Peck of Owls. And our Time Turner segment has us spinning some old recordings from past discussions! Check out Episode 434 and Episode 228!
Did Dumbledore suspect that Harry would be attacked on Privet Drive? If so, why was more (competent) manpower not invested in Harry’s protection?
Why is Harry facing criminal charges for doing a bit of simple, defensive magic?
Given how fast the owls show up, are they using some form of magic themselves?
Say what?! Petunia knows about Dementors... and Azkaban!
When Petunia references that awful boy, does she mean James... or Snape?
Remember My Last! Was Petunia actually excited to receive a letter from the Wizarding World? Has she ever heard Dumbledore's voice in person?
Do Petunia and Snape share a similar love for Lily and disdain for Harry?
Shouldn't Vernon have every right to want to protect his family? Especially, after he learns of Voldemort's return?
Lynx Line: How would we improve on the Ministry of Magic's disciplinary process for Harry?
Our Most Wicked Figg Line of the Week: the hosts do their best impressions!
Quizzitch: In Scotland, the peck was used as a dry measure until the introduction of imperial units as a result of the Weights and Measures Act of what year?
