  This theory would leave us with a problem-people with green eyes 
(and people who are blind)would be immune to the Avada Kedavra 
curse. It would also mean that Harry is still immune it. Taking this 
a step further, this immunity suggests that you would have to see 
the green light to be affected by the curse, meaning that you could 
protect yourself from it by wearing green tinted glasses or simply 
closing your eyes.

  I also wonder about the theory that Harry was saved simply because 
his mother was willing to die for him. While this could have been a 
contibuting factor to Harry's survival, I doubt it could hardly have 
been the one thing that saved him. In all the murders that LV 
committed, surely one other person gave their life so that a loved 
one could live. James tried to hold LV off, wouldn't this have 
counted? Something else has to be going on here. 

 Wishing that it all could really be that simple,
