I always saw the concept of purgatory as something the Catholic Church elders had to make up because they had "painted themselves into a corner" with other doctrines--specifically, the rejection of the idea of reincarntation.
Many people whose third eye is open can see souls of the departed if they choose. Sometimes it is necessary to help these people "into the light" to get them to stop pestering you. Their souls are "stuck" hanging around physicality for some reason or other. This could also be source of the idea of purgatory.
Hillary's anology also works well.
The truth of the matter probably lies somewhere in between, and unless we can track down the year of the first mention of Purgatory the history of the Catholic Church, I can see no way of answering the question truly.
I'm just not up for another trip to the Vatican and begging John Paul to let me into the Hall of Records again. Somebody else talk to him this time. He's tired of me darkening his doorway....:^)
Will somebody PLEASE get this tongue out of my cheek.
