Sarah:
I thought that when they spoke of coming back to find the house in
ruins, they were speaking quite literally.  That is exactly what
happened to Harry's last house.

I also suspect the friend on holiday in Majorca of being an excuse.  I
don't think Petunia would want to bust out with the real reason she
can't leave Harry with anyone but Figg, which is all spelled out in a
certain letter.
