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?

As I was reading this post, something struck me...what if Mrs Figg is the secret keeper in an elaborate Fidelus(sp?) Charm...
Do the protected 'subjects' have to be WILLING to be protected?
Do they even have to know they are under the Fidelus Charm to be protected by it??

It may explain why Harry is safe there...other than another form of ancient magic(like his mothers love protected him from Voldemort- until GoF)

of course anyone could be the secret keeper, couldn't they?

Has anyone else brough this theory up in the past?

Has me thinking now...
