While I think this is a lovely idea, I would be remiss not to point out
that Harry got his eyes from his mum, Lily Evans, who was Muggle-born.
If Harry *is* the heir of Gryffindor (and I don't think we can assume
that), he is probably related through his father's side - one of the
main reasons that people even think Harry could be Gryffindor's heir is
that Voldemort was after Harry and James, but not Lily; it's thought
that H and J are "Gryffindors" by blood, but Lily is not.

I do think the idea of Harry having some magical talent for healing,
aside from his DADA talents, would be a nice twist, though - and even
if it's not his tears, I think he does need to have a good, cathartic
cry with Molly. :)
