Oh, gosh. I just had a terrible, terrible thought -- inspired by jhameia's comment. It's a wild-ass guess, but a spoiler in the unlikely event that I'm right. You have been warned.
(Dang. Apparently cut tags don't work in comments.)
Krosp is a construct, an intelligent cat. How would someone suitably sparky, such as Dr. Dim, create an intelligent cat? By transplanting a human brain into a cat's skull! But a cat's skull is pretty small, so it would have to be a small human brain ... likely from a very small human.
Can you guess who I suspect Krosp "really" is? That would solve a lot of problems, wouldn't it? And Agatha has already sworn allegiance to him, so there wouldn't be any succession controversies!
