Would this imply that Harry is descended from all three Peverell brothers?

And then he uses a Time-Turner to have three total copies of himself to do the ritual?

Given that the brothers lived 800 years ago and the magical world is quite small that's very probable.

Not really, no. Why would it? In fact, I'm pretty sure only the third brother had any children.

Voldemort and Potter are descended from two different brothers. I'm unsure if the third had any canon children or not, but I'm now imagining Dumbledore being descended from him and the three main characters going on a Death-killing mission.

The third was the only one to have a directly referenced child, he passed on his cloak to it.
