He looked dead/dying to me ... logic dictated to me that it was Fred's death scene.

Granted it may be that Dan and Geradine's eyes match. In the movie it is hard to tell because all of their scenes together are shadowy and/or dark. The Lily I am refering to is YOUNG Lily with the glaringly apparent DARK BROWN eyes as seen in the bright daylight extreme close up.

Now the fact that the movie makers did not make their eyes (Harry's & Lily's) GREEN was discussed ad nauseum 10 years ago. It was accepted that Dan could not tolerate contacts and therefore the moviemakers chose to leave his eyes blue.

BUT the fact remains ... a GREAT PLOT POINT has been made, MANY times throughout the books (green) and the movies (your mother's eyes)that Harry & Lily's eyes are the same ... I think it should have been so,ESPECIALLY in extreme close-ups! 

Yes, we must all employ "Willing suspension of disbelief" but when it would have been easy for the moviemakers to uphold the illusion ... it is a shame that they didn't.
