Sorry for jumping in here, but don't you think that Harry would have 
told Ron where he lived when he told them all about the Dursleys?  It 
seems to me a lot of students at Hogwarts knew he did not like the 
Dursleys.  That was made apparent in COS, when the students presumed 
he could be the heir of Slytherin simply because he "hated his muggle 
relations".  

Also, seeing as they knew the Dursley's names, even though they may 
not know about a phone book or how to use it, Hermione did, and could 
have simply told them.
