Is The Potter's Invisibility Cloak A Relic?

Ken snipped:

A relic of Ravenclaw or Gryffindor that is. Weren't some of the
memories that DD shows Harry in HBP collected well before the attack
at Godric's Hollow? DD had concerns about Tom Riddle for a long time,
almost from the beginning. Surely he would have suspected him of
creating a horcrux, possibly he suspected him of creating multiple
horcruxes even by the time of the GH attack. At that time he might
been aware of Tom's fascination with relics of the Founders and might
have suspected that Tom intended to make four horcruxes from four
relics. Knowing that the Potters were targets he might have convinced
James to give him the cloak, just in case. LV might have known of the
cloak and might have been intending to make it into a horcrux with
Harry's death that very night.

Snow:

Nice one! Then the Cloak was Godric's? 

Well of course it is! It was an inherited Cloak, and as I had stated 
previously, mom and dad weren't dead when James used it at Hogwarts

so from whom did James `inherit' it from?

Even Dumbledore might not have been aware of the connection though. 

Some may say well we have been told that James and Harry are not, via 
JKR's website, related to Godric Gryffindore so the Cloak wouldn't 
have been inherited by James and what I would say in rebuttal would 
be that Sirius is not a blood relative of Harry either and yet Harry 
inherited Grimmald Place, didn't he? 

You don't have to be related to inherit, right? So there could be a 
connection between James Cloak and Godric Gryffindore and also the 
Voldemort factor. 

I really think I like this one.
