I think Petunia's and Lily's parents are dead. Because Petunia is 
Lily's last blood relative. If the Evans' were still alive, 
Dumbledore could have given Baby Harry to them.

And I also think, it is likely, that Voldemort or the Death Eaters 
killed them. Petunia complained in PS, that they always thought Lily 
was extraordinary, because she was a witch. That means, they must 
have still be alive, while Lily went to school (or at least at some 
time of it). However, both were (probably) already dead, when 
Voldemort killed Lily and James. Of course it's possible, that both 
died of natural causes during this time, or in a car crash or 
something like this. But currently I assume, that they are killed by 
the Death Eaters, if only, because I think that Petunia's jealousy 
isn't a reason for SUCH a hatred towards the wizarding world.

There is a similar problem with Jame's parents. Sirius quasily told 
Harry, that they were still alive, when he ran away from his parents 
home. And yet, six years or so later no track from them. Of course 
they aren't Lily's blood relatives, so maybe Dumbledore wouldn't have 
given Harry to them, anyway. But it is really odd, that McGonagall 
didn't even mention the possibility.
