Unless the Dursleys would have nothing to do with them. Any contact James' 
parents tried to make with Harry would have been turned aside.  But 
Dumbledore does say that the Dursleys are Harry's only family, so the 
implication is that James' parents are deceased. This doesn't mean he's 
been an orphan since childhood. They could have died of old age when he was 
an adult, or been killed by Voldemort (or be DEs? *there's* a twist!!)
