Green and Red are opposite colours (Even as Slytherin/Gryffindor are 
somewhat opposite houses) in Colour Circles used by artists, in the 
negative/positive versions of photos and one of our colour-seeing 
celltypes is red/green one (red/green -colourblindness caused by the 
lack of that cell-type).

Harry has green eyes. In other words, they reflect green light! (And 
Avada Kedavra shouts green light)...

Oh, and Lily's eyes... maybe Lily switched their eyes by magic? 
Harry's Dementor-forbrought memory:
"I hear Voldemort kill my parents". No sight-memory at all, until the 
green light. Was he blind because Lily had taken his eyes, giving him 
hers, to protect him? Harry doesn't see well with Lily's eyes, in 
fact he doesn't see anything but the green light that his eyes 
reflect back. Lily dies, holding Harry, Voldemort flees.

Toddler Harry, being very scared (and as dead Mommy isn't 
saying "it's all right, Harry"), the house explodes, (Maybe Harry 
even used Lily's wand??) Harry begins to cry...
