James inherited the cloak from his father, Fleamont Potter, who inherited it as a descendant of Iolanthe Peverell -- a granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell. The cloak passed down through generations of the family until it reached James and then
In Deathly Hallows, Rowling writes that the Invisibility Cloak was created by Ignotus Peverell, a 13th-century wizard who eluded death by wearing it. Before his death, he handed it down to his son.
Given to him so he could enter the house unseen. He was using it to make sure the Potters were alone, VMort would have him do just that.
Extended Description. Invisibility cloaks are very rare, but Harry receives one for Christmas in his first year; it turns out to have been originally the property of Harry's father, and was given to Harry by Professor Dumbledore.
In Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore uses Homenum Revelio to see Harry and Ron under the Invisibility Cloak in Hagrid's hut: 'However,' said Dumbledore, speaking very slowly and clearly, so that none of them could miss a word, 'you will find that I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
These wizards can see invisible creatures. Sound familiar? Dumbledore knew Harry and Ron were under the invisibility cloak at Hagrid's hut in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as his eyes flickered in their direction.
At different points, Dumbledore possessed all three Deathly Hallows. He won the Elder Wand from Grindelwald, had the Invisibility Cloak in his possession when James Potter died, and wore the Resurrection Stone as it sat in Marvolo Gaunt's ring. Dumbledore's powers are really quite extraordinary!
James' dad Fleamont Potter invented the Sleekeazy's Hair Potion — something that quadrupled the family gold just on time for his grandson to inherit the money.
While in school together, Sirius once tricked Snape into almost entering the Shrieking Shack while Lupin was there, transformed into a werewolf. James realised the danger and stopped Snape, saving his life; this is the incident Dumbledore referred to at the end of the first book.
The big “secret” about the Dumbeldore family that the title promises is actually an explanation of the last film's cliffhanger. Albus confirms to Creedence early on in the film that he is in fact a Dumbledore, quashing any rumor that Grindelwald had lied to the young boy in order to sway him to his movement.
The Potters had gone into hiding to protect themselves from Voldemort. It would not have been considered necessary for them to use the cloak, because they thought their secret location was safe.
There are many Invisibility Cloaks in the universe of Harry Potter. It so happens that the one Harry has was SPECIAL because it was very powerful and efficient at deflecting Curses too. This means that Harry's Cloak was made from special materials and from using special magic by one of the three Peverell brothers.
Harry Potter, a living descendant of the third brother was later given the cloak by Albus Dumbledore. Long ago, it is said, Death created the Deathly Hallows. The Elder Wand; The Resurrection Stone; and The Cloak of Invisibility, together, make the beholder a master of death.
It was not until 1998, that Harry learned the true nature of his own Invisibility Cloak and its true identity as the Cloak of Invisibility, as spoken of in the legend of the Deathly Hallows. As Ignotus's last remaining descendant, the Cloak was rightfully Harry's and was kept by him after Lord Voldemort's defeat.
Stealing the cloak would have been evidence against him. The cloak is highly unusual, Dumbledore and Snape know it belongs to Harry. If and when Harry was found, he could have accused Draco and proven the charges easily. Draco would get detention if not suspension.
And this is why Hermione does not fit into Ravenclaw, since she lacks their creativity of thought. When you also add in her fearlessness and her strong convictions about right and wrong, which are inherently Gryffindor traits, then there was even less of a chance she'd end up wearing blue and bronze.
Both Lily and James Potter were killed by Voldemort aged 21 at Godric's Hollow on 31 October 1981, when Harry was just 1 year old, And the rest of the story, you no doubt know.
"Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald" and was "blinded" by it. "This was Dumbledore's tragedy."

In Rowling's Harry Potter series, Dumbledore demonstrated the ability to possess wandless magic on several occasions, most memorably when he cast Aresto Momentum without a wand to save Harry from falling to his death during a Quidditch match.
He does not find out when he realizes Harry's scar first starts hurting him. Dumbledore and Harry do not really talk about the pain Harry experiences in his scar until the later books, but it's sort of generally accepted that Dumbledore knows about it.
As J.K Rowling revealed, Albus Dumbledore had mastered Parseltongue too – although he could not speak it aloud.
