Bookworm:
A purrfectly good connection.  The only issue I see with it is that 
Harry has spent a lot of time at Mrs. Figg's house when the Dursleys 
wanted to get rid of him for a while.  Wouldn't he have noticed some 
overlooked item, or indication that a man either lived at the house 
or spent a lot of time there? To completely sanitize the house 
everytime Harry was there would take a lot of effort.
