In interviews, JKR has stated 
"The Dursleys are in the next book, and there's stuff coming with 
them that people might not expect." (I borrowed the quote from the 
Lexicon) Maybe I've missed this discussion, but I was wondering what 
you all think.  I'm thinking it has to be either:

1. They are related to someone unexpected - like the Riddles or 
Dumbledore.

2. One of them has magic abilities - would have to be Dudley or 
Petunia.

3. Something related to the "ancient magic" Dumbledore invoked to 
protect Harry.

4. Something else

Whatever it is, I think it will terminate the necessity for Harry to 
live there during the summer.  Also, since we find out more about 
Mrs. Figg (I think she'll need to blow her cover and then help 
Dumbledore by being DADA teacher), how would she continue to be able 
to watch over Harry?  It will be interesting to see where Harry 
spends next summer.
