I'd love to know more about Harry's muggle grandparents (self.harrypotter)

Anyone else? I’m curious to know how they could raise both Lily and Petunia. I’d love to know more details about their relationship with their kids.

It's a subject sometimes explained in fan fiction (such as The Last Enemy)

The thing is that they are the parents to both Lily and Petunia, so they have to be nice, but also flawed.

They could just be nice, accepting of Lily's giftedness and that makes Petunia jealous. She doesn't have that otherness and she is completely ordinary.

They can be just nice, but then either Petunia is just very good at hiding her jealousy (which turns to hate at some point when you see how she treats Harry), or they don't do anything to address it

You can be just nice and not equipped for a situation, she could feel betrayed that her best friend left their life for one that she couldn't partake in. That may require counselling or addressing.
