Mrs Figg's broken leg...

Hello all,
     I was having a flip through PS and something struck me as odd, 
and I thought perhaps someone could offer some suggestions about it. 
>From the four books it's pretty clear that Mrs Figg has a connection 
to the WW and is in all probablity a witch herself, and perhaps lives 
near the Dursleys in order to keep an eye on Harry. But in PS we're 
told Harry can't stay with her during Dudley's birthday because she's 
broken her leg. Couldn't that be easily fixed? I mean, broken bones 
can be fixed 'in an instance', and wouldn't Mrs Figg know someone who 
could mend it for her, even if she couldn't do so herself?
  Was it deliberate so that Harry could go to the Zoo with Dudley, 
perhaps as a test to see if he *was* a Parseltongue? Maybe Dumblebore 
suspected that he would be? If so, doesn't that have some BIG 
implications?
  Darla.
