Hickengruendler:

I don't see, where Figg was treated badly except from Fudge. Granted, 
he is a representative figure of the flaws in the Wizarding World, 
particularly in this book, but he's still only one person. Amelia 
Bones was very interested in Figg's testimony. And at the end, the 
majority of the Wizengamot members believed her, since they thought 
Harry to be innocent.
