Geoff:
Surely Mrs.Figg was already there?

The need for Harry to go to the Dursleys wasn't something that was 
planned. It came out of the blue. Mrs.Figg, as a Squib, couldn't be 
installed in a suburban English road at such short notice. There wouldn't 
be a property available in the time frame. And you could hardly do a 
"Grimmauld Place" and insert a magical house into the scenery.
