Hmmm...My money isn't on the Dursley's dying either, BUT I have often 
wondered about the roots of the Dursley's fears/hatred of all things 
MAGIC.  It just seems that there must be more beneath the surface.  
I've read some fanfics that have some interesting speculations.  
Factually we know the following:

1. It appears that Lily and Petunia's parents are both deceased.
2. The Dursley's want to "stamp out that nonsense."


Possibly: 

It could be (based on there not having been mentioned) that Uncle 
Dursley's parents are also deceased.  Is it possible that Petunia and 
Vernon's parents were all victims of the Muggle killings?  Could it 
be that this is one of the things that brought this somewhat odd pair 
together?  Perhpas JKR will give us some insight into their psyches 
in future books and make us a bit more sympathetic to them...or maybe 
not!
