According to this family tree, they are DISTANT relatives. In the source you will see that the line is broken, this suggesting that the Gaunt family married into the Peverell family. Harry and Voldermort are not blood relatives but relatives by marriage. The same theory applies to Harry and Ron. Harry married Ginny, so some may consider Ron to be his relative. Ron is related to Harry through family ties, not blood.

In the sixth book first chapter, the old minister of magic was replaced by a new fiercer looking Minister named Rufus Scrimguer. Later in the book he tries to manipulate Harry into making public appearances for him, as means for his magical war propaganda. It might be that Rufus is being controlled/manipulated by Voldemort? I digress, if Voldemort never went Borgin & Burkes then it would be safe to assume that if he was in the ministry, he would have known the secret to destroying Harry Potter much earlier, and he would have found another way to kill him without losing his power. Albus Dumbledore would have surely fought with Voldemort for a long time but all in vain. Dumbledore would have most likely never learned about the Horcruxes, unless on a off chance from Slughorn, and even then both would have been snuffed out before any real damage could be done. IN conclusion there wouldn't be a Harry Potter series for sake of name, he would be dead. If there had been a series, it probably would be the magical equivalent of 1984.

Kinda looks that way. Harry is the last surviving heir of Ignotus Peverell brothers, the man who originally owned the invisibility cloak. It's been passed down in his family for generations. Slytherin used Cadmus Peverell's resurrection stone to make his ring and it then got passed down for generations as such.

Technically, yes. But very very distantly.

Well... the tree answers your own question, does it not? According to the tree, they are descendants of the same bloodline.
