bringing a letter to Prof McGonagall, who - as a cat - was on the
corner of the street when Vernon left, reading a map.  She wouldn't
have needed a map to Privet Drive, as she was already there.  Was she
tracking Hagrid's progress???

Carol:

More likely, IMO, the owl is delivering a letter to Mrs. Figg from
Dumbledore, informing her that Baby!Harry will be left on the
Dursleys' doorstep that night and will require a guard (Mrs. Figg or
her cats).

Carol, who always wondered how a toddler could stay safely on a
doorstep for five or six hours, blood protection or no, and thinks
Mrs. Figg is the answer
