I don't think so; the fact that the Avada Kedavra curse has a green 
light and Harry Potter has green eyes might be an interesting link -- 
one that demonstrates to some extent, his prior immunity to it.  For 
a more prosaic damper, see below...

I have green eyes that are more hazel, but all of my three children -
 -as well a my brothers and sisters and in-laws started out with a 
kinda slate-like gray-blue which later turned into their true colors 
at a few months old.  Neither here nor there, since Harry was about a 
year old at the time of the attack, though.  I think what makes it 
more unlikely that Harry's green eyes have to do with his mother's 
protection is simply the fact that his mother had those eyes 
already.  It's likely that the fact that he looks like his father but 
with his mother's eyes is simply a comment on his genetics --  and 
something to provide a link to his mother, since he looks so much 
like his father otherwise.

Not that I'm aware of.
