Harry received the cloak in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, not the Chamber of Secrets.

It was given to him by Albus Dumbledore who had borrowed it from James Potter. The cloak was in Dumbledore's possession at the time of the Potter's death and so he returned it to Harry.

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. It was handed down from father to son for generations. It was/is one of the Deathly Hallows (see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.)

Answer: It was left for him from his parents and someone like Dumbledore or Hagrid must of known that and put it under the tree.

Answer: Dumbledore held the cloak - he was investigating it - when Harry Potter's parents died. Later he left it to Harry Potter.

Answer: It was a Potter family heirloom... Dumbledore just borrowed it -- we don't know if it could have helped when Voldemort attacked the Potters in 1981.

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.
