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 . . .
