Dumbledore also seems to have magical eyes -- I call them Veritaserum 
Eyes. For example, "Dumbledore was giving Harry a searching look.  
His twinkling light-blue gaze made Harry feel as though he were being 
X-rayed."  (CoS, when Harry is accused of petrefying Filch's cat.)  
This gaze usually appears when Harry has been accused of something, 
after which Dumbledore appears to decide Harry is not guilty and lets 
him go.  Dumbledore also wears glasses -- perhaps the half-moon shape 
allows him to look over the top whenever he wants to use the 
veritaserum feature.  Even if the magical power in Harry's eyes is of 
a different kind than Dumbledore's I think your idea as to the 
function of the glasses is a very good one.
