I always assumed that the Harry sent a note to the Dursley's with 
Hedwig, and then Hedwig waited for a few minutes to Petunia/Vernon 
to write a response, give it to Hedwig, and then Hedwig would bring 
the message back to Harry. However, Petunia's knowledge of the 
Wizarding World in OotP implies she is or has been more in touch 
with the WW then Harry knows, but further speculation is 
simply . . . speculation until the next two books come out.

Or perhaps Hogwarts has some system for students like Hermione to 
stay in touch with their parents. Perhaps the Muggle Studies teacher 
makes trips to the nearest muggle post office for the students? The 
students of muggle birth should know how to address/stamp/etc an 
evelope, and (I hope) the Muggle Studies prof should know how to 
blend in and send letters at a Muggle Post Office. Hmm, wonder who 
the muggle studies prof is . . .
