Perhaps his grandparents are dead-but a great-grandparent or great -
great grandparent may still be alive.  Perhaps that GGGP does not 
have to contact Harry because he/she has been in contact since he 
started school at Hogwarts.  JKR has said in several interviews that 
some of the staff at Hogwarts are married but she cannot share who 
because that has major plot elemnents attached.  So, it is quite 
possible that someone teaching at Hogwarts is related to the Potter 
side-and already has time with Harry 9-10 month out of the year.

I know, why would a relative or godparent leave him with cursed 
Dursley family-maybe someone who loved him very much (tears to my 
eyes) would if they knew that ultimately it would protect him to be 
with Petunia because of the Lily/Harry mothers love thingy.
