As always, JKR found a way out. She has no editted her answer and 
writes that both she and DD differentiate between the letters 
addressed specifically to Petunia and those addressed to the 
Dursleys. I suppose we can assume that all letters regarding Harry 
sent after his enrollment were addressed to the Dursleys.
