As we know that the Gaunts were Salazar Slytherin's last living descants , and their grandson was Voldemort , we know that Voldemort is also a relative of Salazar Slytherin . We also know that Harry is also a relative of Voldemort ( want prove : The story begins with the 3 brothers or the Peverell brothers cheating death and death pretends to congratulate each one of them with a prize.
Antioch Peverell the eldest one asked for a wand more powerful than any .The second brother Cadmus Peverell asked for a stone to bring the love of his live back from the dead and death gave him a stone which could do just that. Finally Ignotus Peverell asked for a way to leave that day and not to be followed by death for the rest of his life . So death gave him a part of his own invisibility cloak .Just has death had planned the objects he had given , led Antioch and Cadmus to there deaths . Antioch bragged of his invincibility and was killed by someone who wanted the wand for themselves. Cadmus ended up committing suicide to join the love of his after the stone had given her back, but it wasn't the same he was unable to touch her and she was miserable being among of the living .
Ignotus Peverell however lived the rest of his life hidden from death just as he had planned, until he passed the cloak down to his son and greeted death like an old friend . The legend says that if you possess all 3 of the Deathly Hallows ( the wand ,the stone and the cloak) you are the master of Death .When Harry asks Dumbledore the Peverrel brothers were real " oh yes replied Dumbledore " I think so .Whether they met Death on a lonely road,I think it is more likely that the Peverrel brothers were simply gifted , dangerous wizards who succeeded in creating those powerful objects .The story of them being deaths own Hallows seem to me the sort of legend that might have sprung up around such creations" So what came out of the 3 deathly hallows ? Both the stone and the cloak were kept in the family and were passed down generations after generations .
For the cloak it was passed down to Ignotus Peverell's family until it had no more male heirs ,so it was eventually passed down to the daughters which eventually led to the Potter family and one of the female heirs married Hardwin Potter and his son James Potter I'll continue with that in a moment . After Cadmus patrolled, the ressurection stone was fitted to a ring and that ring was passed down as a family heirloom for the Peverrel family ,and events led to the Gaunt family , as the ring was passed down no one knew the true nature of its abilities and what it was capable of as one of the Deathly Hallows. Eventually it was passed to Marvalo Gaunt who was Tom Riddle's or Lord Voldemort's grandfather .Marvalo passed the ring to his son Morfin . When Voldemort was still at Hogwarts , he stole the ring from Morfin and used it to make one of his horcruxes.He then hid it in the house of that his grandfather ,uncle and mother had lived in and put magical enchantments on it to keep it safe. The reason these two hollows are so interesting is because they link the hero of the story and the villain of the story .Because both hallows ,the cloak and the stone were passed down to both Harry's and Voldemort's family ,we know that Harry is a descendant of Ignotus Peverell and we know that Voldemort is a descendant of Cadmus Peverell, Ignotus and Cadmus were brothers , meaning that Harry and Voldemort are descendants from the same family ,which means that they are actually related .Read full book to understand more .Name of the book : The Deathly Hallows : from creation to ultimate fate + why harry didn't die in the forbbinden forest .) that means that Harry is also a relative of Salazar Slytherin.
