Dumbledore said that the three brothers were probably just three highly gifted wizards who created these powerful objects. It's all possible in the world of magic, isn't it? The stone didn't truly bring back the dead, by the way--just a feeble image/imitation of the person. They were never actually brought to life.
The story is just a tale to explain the remarkable inventions of the Peverell brothers.

Btw, when it comes to fables: Sometimes a story gets told so many times that components in it change drastically. Did you know, for example, that in the celtic mythology there's a story about a magical cauldron that can resurrect the dead and cure all injuries?
What does that sound like to you?
Right.
The Holy Grail. :)
Yet another story that got adapted elsewhere.
I think Rowling did quite a good job on coming up with a fairy tale like story for the Three Brothers.

If the story is just a fable, and the Hallows were created by the Peverell brothers, it may be that they just found unusual ways to harness natural powers.

There also was a real Nicolas Flamel. Here is his wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_...
He was a gifted alchemist. In fact, scientists today are still trying to duplicate his alchemical experiments.
I also remember the disappearing head hats the twins developed. Hermione was massively impressed they could manipulate the charm to extend to the head of the wearer. Extraordinary wizards creating extraordinary magical objects. The ministry of magic even ordered a ton of them. ;-)
Hiding these into a fable was a brilliant way to keep people from looking for them. Where better place to hide than in the open?

Ah, refrigerator blindness...seems most of wizardkind suffered from it.

Perhaps there are normal wizards and abnormal wizards. Like we have with humans -- we have geniuses and averages and above and below averages. Maybe these objects were formed by the wizard equivalent of a genius.
