Remember that both Harry's father and Voldemort's mother were pure blood,
the point has already been discussed that the family tree of the wizarding
community (especially those with any claim to "pureblood" status) probably
looks more like a spiders web than a tree. There doesn't seem to be a very
specific time frame mentioned for the Peverell's but I had the impression
that it's many centuries or more, across that kind of time frame it's likely
that everyone in the ww has multiple connections in there ancestry. We just
happen to know one of the connections between Harry and tom because it was
pertinent to the story.
