Err, yes, I certainly agree there's significance about Harry's eyes.  And
the fact that he has his mother's eyes.  What I said was I didn't know of a
specific reference to the *color* of Harry's eyes being significant.  In
other words is it important that Harry has "his mother's eyes" or "his
mother's *green* eyes."
