Me either.  What I meant to say was that that may be another case of 
hyberbole on Jo's part, since she definitely says straight out that 
Snape and Hagrid have black eyes.

PS/SS 4:  "you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles 
under all the hair."

PS/SS 8: "[Snape's] eyes were black like Hagrid's, but had none of 
Hagrid's warmth."

PA 14:  "He didn't care that Snape's face had gone rigid, the black 
eyes flashing dangerously."

 wrinkled with effort.  "There's a blob a bit
 like a bowler hat," he said.  "Maybe you're 
 going to work for the Ministry of Magic...."
