"Why isn't Harry raising Teddy?" has been brought up a few times. I
think it's reasonable to infer that Teddy is being raised by his
grandmother, Andromeda Tonks (Sirius' favorite cousin and Tonks'
mother), who after all is his closest blood relation and, after losing
her husband, daughter, and son-in-law in the Second War, probably
would like somebody to be care for.
The why-is-Teddy-at-the-platform question has been discussed in the
past few days in this thread:

The general consensus is that he was just there to say goodbye to Bill
and Fleur's daughter, Victoire (who was probably in her 6th or 7th
year).
(JK Rowling confirms that Victoire is Bill & Fleur's eldest daughter
