My US paperback edition says "bright brown eyes."  Which I found an odd way
to describe brown eyes.  Unless it's bright as in very attentive and not
bright as in color.  Because I can't quite picture brown being considered
bright (as in color).

Other clues, someone mentioned the way Harry felt like Tom Riddle was a long
lost uncle or something when he was writing in the diary.  I know it's been
hypothesized that the diary was under a spell to make one feel familiar with
it, but what if it wasn't?  Technically, I suppose Harry had met Tom Riddle
twice before.  Once the year before and once as a baby.  But there still may
be something in that yet.
