Could Harry Potter's relations have links to the Deathly Hallows?

This was the insinuation put forward by a fan of J.K. Rowling's work recently. Redditor iShootWithACamera, as per Mashable, theorized that the Christmas gifts the Dursleys' gave Harry must have dropped clues to their Deathly Hallows connection.

Take for example the gift they gave him in his first year at Hogwarts.

The Dursleys sent him a fifty-pence coin, which the fan concluded represented the Resurrection Stone, one of the objects comprising the Deathly Hallow triumvirate. The stone was known for its capacity to summon dead spirits.

Then, in his second year at the school of magic, the Dursleys gave him a piece of toothpick, which allegedly represented the Elder Wand, which was considered a powerful, unbeatable wand.

On his fourth year at Hogwarts, Harry received one piece of tissue from his closest relations. The item reportedly represented the Invisibility Cloak, which makes its user disappear when worn.

While at first glance the gifts appear to be worthless, in the light of the new fan theory, they apparently were quite prophetic.

In the wake of this proposal, fans and media outlets, such as Entertainment Weekly, anticipated a response from Rowling regarding the truth about the clues. She has not yet spoken on the subject as of this writing.

However, Rowling had previously explained the reason for the Dursleys' apparent dislike for the boy wizard.

As quoted by The Guardian, the author revealed that Harry's Aunt Petunia had a longstanding jealousy of her sister Lily, the boy's mother. This somehow transferred to the child. She did not like that she had to take the boy in after his parents were murdered and "spent the rest of Harry's childhood punishing him for her own choice," Rowling said.

Harry's, meanwhile, did not like that the boy closely resembled his dad James, whom Vernon did not like at all because he wasn't "ordinary" as the man expected everyone and everything to be.

Similarly, Severus Snape also, at first, did not like Harry because he looked so much like his father, who he had a rivalry with since their student days.

Rowling also revealed how she decided on the names of Harry's aunt and uncle. She said that "Vernon" was a name that she really didn't care for, and that "Petunia" was her go-to name for unpleasant make-believe female characters she conjured during playtime with her sister when she was still a child.
