Aha! Now we know who started the false rumor :-)! But seriously, me
too, I can't remember any clues in the books about cloaks before DH.
There were these Mad-Eye's words that suggest that ICs can be of
different quality: "Found it (the OotP picture) last night when I was
looking for my spare Invisibility Cloak, seeing as Podmore hasn't had
the manners to return my best one ..." (OotP, p.173). This means that
one of Mad-Eye's cloaks is better (newer?) than the other. However,
there is nothing here about Harry's Cloak being the best of all :-).

Anyway, I can't remember any canon (pre-DH, of course) about Harry's
Cloak being special, but I must say that I haven't reread the previous
books yet since DH was out, so when I start rereading, I will pay
attention and look for clues, just in case :-).
