Has anyone gotten to the trailer close enough to see if they fooled with
Rickman's eyes? Because he has light eyes--hazel or light brown (one
lyrical interviewer called them the color of tea before you add the
milk--must have been padding for length).

My son has the darkest eyes I have ever seen on a Caucasian, myself, and
my husband (dark-eyed himself, but not as dark as Tomek) says his
father's were that dark. Brown, so dark you can't see the pupils except
in strong light. This, with fair skin, dark lashes, and thick fine brown
hair. Sigh.

So I'll second Amy's implied question--has anyone ever seen a genuinely
white-skinned person with genuinely black eyes? In my husband's and
son's case, the dark eyes come from the same place Jan's epicanthal
folds do--Mongols ramping through Poland over the centuries, so they
trace back to Oriental roots. All my family is hazel or green.

--Amanda, ready for Snape to have tea-before-you-add-the-milk-colored
eyes in a heartbeat, if he purrs his other lines, too (and Amy, loved
your comment on his finger-twiddling; I'd noticed and approved of that,
too)
