I don't really have much of an idea about who Harry's grandparents
might be or, for that matter, who the rest of the family tree consists
of.  I just don't think that JKR has given us much in the way of clues
regarding Harry's family.  I do, however, believe that many, many
wizards were killed as a result of Voldemort's grab for power. It was
sort of a Black Plague that dessimated the wizarding community; in
this way it was actually quite like Hitler's reign. Anyone who didn't
agree with the party line was quickly "eliminated"; people were
probably disappearing left and right! So, I don't think it's unusual
that most of Harry's family, at least on James' side is gone.  I do,
however, wonder what's become of Lily's family, as they are, I
believe, Muggles, and don't know if Voldemort's murderous ways would
have extended to them.
