Magic was less sophisticated, but possibly more powerful? And experimental? I mean, we're not given an exact date for the creation of the Hallows but it was probably before the Statute of Secrecy was established and the wizard in world cut off from the Muggle one. So this could predate a lot of the crazy inbreeding (which, as we know from the Gaunts, could possibly affect magic strength) that happens later on. I like to put their creation in around 1337-8 (when the Black Death was in England) because of the fantastic opportunity for necromancy and because it would give plenty of time for the story to evolve into the romanticised version.
But yeah, it could explain a lot about what happened to Harry in Kings Cross if he was genetically predisposed towards necromancy. Hmmm... Let your muse work! Let it! There isn't nearly enough fic about the Hallows!
