Harry's Vulnerability (was JKR in Reader's Digest Dec 2000)

I was thinking that maybe him always having his glasses on was his
vulnerability.  After all, we already know from various hints, that Harry
having Lily's eyes is going to be important in the future books - maybe the
glasses act as some kind of inhibitor to whatever it is that's special about
them.  After all, and any of the mums on the list feel free to jump in and
correct me, the chances are that the first time Harry faced Voldemort, he
was too small to be wearing glasses yet - so my guess is that the glasses
interfere with some kind of special power connected with his eyes, and that
despite being blind as a bat without them, Harry needs to be glasses-less to
save the day sometime in the not too distant future.  It'd be kind of
ironic, too, if the glasses that were meant to help him ended up being a
hindrance.
