I completely agree with JP, Harry received 2 letters
from Mafalda Hopkirk because he did underage magic. I
don't think her department tracks all magic, even
unforgivable curses, they just track underage magic.
They would have learned that Arthur uses magic on his
Ford Anglia, they never knew it could fly until
Ron & Harry used it to get from King's cross to
Hogwarts, so this propably means the only magic the
MoM tracks in underage magic.

By the way, wizards come of age at 17, so if LV was 17
when he killed his dad and grandparents, nobody would
have noticed, unless like DD they read the muggle's
newspaper and the autopsy report (nothing wrong except
the fact they were dead) which I doubt.
