I think it might be important to remember that the Potter books have grown with the telling.

Sorcerer's Stone was JKR's first ever novel and would make sense that the success of the novel and the subsequent series has led to an extraordinary and unexpected growth to the story.

So we can expect some blank spots and inconstancies.

For example, regardless whether James's family and Lilly's family were muggles or wizards, it would be unusual that they would all be wiped off the face of the earth without a mention or even a comment by someone talking to Harry.

Its just Author's licence.
