No? Should we assume he has never seen pictures of his family, after being raised by his mother's sister?

I recall him not having seen the people before, and inferring that they were his family. However, whether or not they're actually what his family looked like, or just what he expected them to look like, is not certain (but the former is more likely).

Additionally, recall that this is the canon Harry we're taking about. His stepmother hated and feared Lily and everything about her, and wanted her life not to be tainted by association with her, so it's unlikely that she'd keep a photo album with Lily in it just lying around. Also, given Harry's relationship with his wicked step-parents, they'd hardly dig out the photo album for him if it existed.
