I just find it hard to believe Dumbledore would take  such a risk. If they 
were desperate enough to make Harry stand before the  whole Wizengamot, they 
could have just as easily ordered Figg to take  Veritaserum and if her lie was 
detected it would have been all over for Harry.

Well, I agree, but then again I don't.  It would look pretty bad on  Harry 
when it was discovered that she didn't actually 'SEE' the dementors,
but as soon as Mrs. Figg came to describing the Dementor attack, and
the remainder of her story, Fudge would have no longer been able 
to claim she made the whole thing up.  I don't know if the WW 
has purgery (sp? believe it or not, I couldn't find it in my spell 
check/dictionary) laws or not, that would cause the whole statement 
to be thrown out if part of a statement is found to be false.  So 
maybe it would fall back more on that as too if it would have 
helped or hurt Harry.
