IMHO:
Mrs Figg lied to save Harry.
Harry owes Figgy BIG TIME for getting him off.
I wished he'd sent her some choccy or cake from Honeydukes as a thank 
you present, but he has not been brought up to do that. (That is 
Petunia's fault, not his.)
I hope he pays her a visit this summer holiday and says a big thank-you 
then.
