Mel adds:
Dead, very definitely. 

Even if JKR hadn't said that flat out, wouldn't this (like the Mark 
Evans question) fall into the "How many times do I have to tell 
you?" category?

The Dursleys are Harry's Only Living Blood Relatives. That's canon. 
The only way JKR is going to be able to change that at this late 
date will be to turn everything over so badly that everything *else* 
is likely to lose credibility.
