From UnknowableWiki

The Potter Family was a family of pure-blood status until James Potter married Lily Evans, a Muggle-born witch. Their son Harry is therefore considered a half-blood.

James' parents, Charlus and Dorea, were wealthy; they were both fairly old when their only son was born, and he was therefore rather spoiled. The couple gladly welcomed James' best friend, Sirius Black, into their household after Sirius fled number twelve, Grimmauld Place (OP6). Despite their blood status, it is unlikely that the Potters shared the prejudice displayed by other old and traditional families.

Throughout his childhood, Harry was told by Aunt Petunia that his parents died in a car crash (PS2).

J. K. Rowling has stated that the Charlus and Dorea died of natural causes before Harry's birth.
