He received it at Christmas in his first year at Hogwarts from the headmaster Dumbledore. Dumbledore had borrowed it when his parents were killed and returned it to Harry as the true heir.

Albus Dumbledore anonymously gave Harry the invisibility cloak for Christmas in his first year at Hogwarts. The cloak previously belonged to James Potter and had been passed down the generations.
Dumbledore, excited to come across a hallow, asked to borrow the cloak so he could study it. Sadly, James was killed before he could return it and so Dumbledore decided to give it Harry.
No. J.K. Rowling never said he was. Some people pretend he is though. But he wasn't.... And anyway, he doesn't have an invisibility cloak.
Harry thought it was either Professor Snape or Lord Voldemort under the cloak. It was actually Professor Quirrel and Lord Voldemort, who were sharing a body.
The cloak had been passed through the generations and ended up with James Potter. Albus, who in his younger life had looked for the three deathly hallows (of which the cloak was one), borrowed the cloak and was in possession of it when James was murdered.
The cloak belonged to James Potter, Harry's father. Albus Dumbledore borrowed it from James shortly before his death. Dumbledore then returned it to Harry during his first Christmas at Hogwarts.

yes, but he has them at different times. he has the cloak already, and he has the ressurection stone but he drops it in the forbidden forest, and he gets the elder wand at the end of the book but he puts it back in dumbledore's tomb
In the Harry Potter Universe, invisibility cloaks are made from the hair of a demiguise, a magical creature with the ability to turn itself invisible. These cloaks will eventually go opaque over time, which Harry's will not. He posseses a "true" invisibility cloak which originally belonged to Death.
Dumbledore gave Harry two of the Hallows, the Cloak of Invisibility when he was eleven and the Resurrection Stone through his will. The Elder Wand, however, Harry gained through his battle with Voldemort.
