Polyjuice Potion smells like cabbage, doesn't it? That makes me wonder about Mrs. Figg. And about the Weasley tent.
Maybe wizards couldn't heal Mrs. Figg's leg because everyone already knew she broke it and they'd get suspicious if it suddenly wasn't? Obliviating the whole street would be such a hassle, you know. Or maybe they did heal it and she's just pretending. What I don't understand is why having a broken leg makes her incapable of sitting on the couch with Harry looking at a photo album.
Wouldn't it have been interesting if the wizards had tried to talk to Harry? "Hello, O Great Hero! Are you getting excited about Hogwarts? Do the Muggles let you practice Quidditch? What insanely dark spell did you use on You-Know-Who? Have you killed any Muggles?" "Er... say what?"
