I think maybe you are over analyzing this.
Harry has his mother's eyes. What could that mean?
Harry has green eyes; his mother has green eyes.
If it's not the eye color that gives him his mother's eyes then what
is it?
Other than color, what factor or characteristic could he share with
his mother that would be significant enough for people to comment that
he has his mother's eyes?
You are right, color is not specifically stated in the BBC Q&A, but
what else could it be?
Just some thoughts.
