Harry's looks

My first time making a comment, although I faithfully read all others daily.

Regarding Harry's family in the mirror--Lily has green eyes and auburn hair,
but other members of the family in the mirror had green eyes too.

When I read this passage, I just assumed that Harry had his mother's eyes
and the black hair coloring of James. I don't remember anywhere that Aunt
Petunia or Dudley are described as having green eyes.

For anyone who has polygenic features (a mix of both sides of the family)
who's to say that both sides of Harry's family didn't have a predominant
strain of green eyes?  Green eyes, like blue, are a recessive gene, brown is
normally the dominant eye color, unless the recessive gene is present in
both parents' genes.  Just a thought.   Maybe JKR didn't give this a lot of
thought, or maybe she did and we just have to wait for later books.

In the meantime, must start reading SS again!
