I pretty much agree that the Dursleys are Harry's only living relatives 
though I do think there could be a way that "the only family he has left" 
could be open to interpretation. 

Harry could have other living relations that are not physically capable of 
taking care of him. Neville Longbottom, for example, has his parents still 
*alive* yet they can't really be considered family he still has. In a sense, 
he doesn't have parents anymore much like Harry. There is a possibility of 
Harry having an aunt or grandmother or something in St. Mungo's in the a 
condition similar to the Longbottoms.

Granted I myself think the theory is unlikely but it *is* a possibility
