Petunia seems very bitter towards her parents, for favouring Lily 
over her - a witch in the family, how wonderful etc.  Maybe they're 
not dead, but they quarrelled and now they don't speak.  Although 
this would beg the question; Why didn't Dumbledore leave Harry with 
his grandparents instead of the Dursleys?  He can't have thought the 
Dursleys were preferable if he had any real choice in the matter.  
But if Petunia and her parents did have a big bust up before they 
died, it might explain why she never speaks of them.  There seems to 
be no shortage of Unspeakable Things in casa Dursley.  Dudley is not 
exactly a boy with an enquiring mind, so maybe it never occurred to 
him to ask - or if he asked, he was hushed up so abruptly he never 
tried again.
