Okay, according to The Leaky Cauldron, Filmforce had
an interview with JKR.  They quote her as saying:

"Key things happen in book two. No one knows how
important those things are... yet. There's a lot in
there. And I know how difficult it was to get it all
in there without drawing too much attention to the
clues." 
<<snip>>
Any other thoughts on the matter?



Well, for one thing, we found out in this book that
Riddle had jet black hair. Often we focus on Harry's
eyes, but we forget one thing that JKR uses to
describe Harry: He has untidy, jet black hair, and so
did James.

In PS/SS, Harry's hair was mentioned a great deal:
chapter 2 (the Vanishing Glass):
"'Comb your hair!' he (Uncle Vernon) barked" <snip>
(p20)

"Harry must have had more haircuts that the rest of
the boys in his class put together, but it made no
difference, his hair simply grew that way, all over
the place."
(p 20-21)

"Once, Aunt Petunia, tired of Harry coming back from
the barber's looking as though he hadn't been at all,
had taken a pair of kitchen scissors and cut his hair
short" <snip>
"Next morning, however, he had got up to find his hair
exactly as it had been before" <snip>
(p23)

Seems in Potterverse, hair plays a big role. All
Weasleys have red hair. So could the fact that Harry
and Tom Riddle have black hair be important?

Also, the stone snakes guarding the chamber of secret
have emerald eyes. Green eyes. Why did Slytherin chose
emerald, not any other gems? And why is the Slytherin
house colour green? Could it be because Slytherin
himself has green eyes?

Which could mean that the Potters are not the
Griffindor's heirs, but Slytherin's heirs! 

What does everyone think of this hair thing?
