Well, thinking about the color thing, I started to investigate a 
little.  I found this interesting interview on the BBC.....

>From BBC Fall 2000 Interview: 
BBC: Now, can I ask you: are there any special wizarding powers in 
your world that depend on the wizard using their eyes to do 
something? 
J.K. Rowling: Why do you want to know this? 
BBC: I just vaguely wondered. 
JKR: Why? 
BBC: Well because everyone always goes on about how Harry's got Lilly 
Potter's eyes? 
JKR: Aren't you smart? There is something, maybe, coming about that. 
I'm going to say no more. Very clever. 

Ok, here is a little (very little investigation on the characters 
that I could find eye colors about)

Harry Potter : Green
Lilly Potter : Green
Prof. Dumbledore : Light Blue
Voldemort : Red
Snape : Black

Gryffindor - scarlet and gold
Slytherin - dark green and silver grey
Ravenclaw - blue and bronze
Hufflepuff - yellow and black

Avada Kedavra produces a flash of GREEN light, would that have 
something to do with his green eyes?  I that why it could not kill 
harry?  but, then it would not explain why it killed Lilly though... 
but maybe there is something I have missed about little harry..... 
too bad he does not have red hair..... that would really throw in an 
interesting plot... ha ha

hmmm, from what JKR says?  Could the socks mean something?  
Gryffindor is red and one sock is red....... Slytherin is green and 
one sock is green.  The sorting hat had problems placing him in 
either house.  Harrys eyes are green and so where his mothers.  
Voldemort had red eyes.... hmmmmmmmm could all of this lead up to 
something?
I have no idea, just adding a little bit to ponder more into this 
subject...... I am still looking into this has anyone else noticed 
anything more?
