Not only is it rare for Caucasions to have jet black hair, over here in 
America, most asain people (kids) don't have jet-black hair. I'm Chinese, 
and my hair is definitely not black. However, I have always imagined Harry's 
hair as jet-black, and it would really look a lot nicer with emerald-green 
eyes. (Come to think of it, does Daniel Radcliffe have green eyes?) I can, 
however, understand them not changing his hair. If I were in a movie, I 
wouldn't want to dye my hair. The important part is the acting.
