Kemper now:
Dumbledore didn't want Mrs. Figg to say anything to Harry so that the
Dursley's would still send them to her.  (Or was that Mrs. Figg
intuiting that?)  It would make sense that Dumbledore forbid contact
in case Order members inadvertently led fundamentalist DEs to him.
(See Bellatrix and Barty Jr)  Also, since Dumbledore is apparently
Machiavellian perhaps he didn't wish to test Dursley's good nature
with crazy dressing witches and wizards bopping or popping by.  Ever
planning, that Dumbledore.
