Okay, I am really having trouble making myself understood here.  I'm getting
those familiar blank looks that I get when something goes over my students'
heads.

One more try.  I know the people are probably referring to the color of his
eyes and Lily's.  But is it the color that makes them special?  Would it
really matter if in the movie they changed it to him having his mother's
*blue* eyes?  The color is what people notice, probably.  And JKR uses that
to draw our attention to it (over and over).  But do all people with green
eyes have magical powers that others don't?  Or does the color matter at
all?  Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?!?!
