    Not a native speaker, but, isn't that the difference between determined and undetermined objects?

    Meaning "a XXX" denotes one sample of XXX, without specifications, whereas "the XXX I mentioned before" determines amongst the other XXX the ones that I mentioned before!

    "a few" means any few,

    "the few" means these really specific few
