I wonder.  JKR has been quoted as saying that there are things coming 
with the Dursley's that we might not expect (would this be them being 
unexpectedly loyal to Harry - something we REALLY wouldn't expect?  
Maybe they'll be SORRY for their past treatment of him! :).  Maybe 
this is the book where the cycle is broken and Harry doesn't have the 
Dursleys to go back to!  After all, if Mrs. Figg is exposed and we 
find out all about her, does that mean that Harry's protection at the 
Dursleys is broken?
