Not that I am a canon expert, I don't recall anywhere in the canon 
where it is stated that Mrs. Figg is a Squib. And I know for a fact 
that in innumerable fan fics she isn't portrayed as such, while Filch 
NEVER suddenly acquires magical powers in fanfic no matter HOW poorly 
the author adheres to the canon. 

And the fact that DD has arranged to have her living in Harry's 
neignborhood (it wouldn't be 'one of THEM coincidences' would it?) 
would argue that there's more to the old lady "than meets the eye", 
as a wizard named Gandalf once said of a couple of hobbits!

Respectfully,
