My response:

I have always been of the opinion that Harry carries a remnant of the 
Avada Kadavra curse that gave him his scar in his eyes.  I know that 
people always remark that he has his mother's eyes, but JKR also 
always describes his eyes as "brilliant" green.  That is also the 
same adjective used to describe the flash of green light issued from 
a wand performing the avada kadavra curse.  Further, we have seen 
that the curse that gave him his scar has left other remnants, such 
as being able to speak parseltounge, and being linked to Voldy by his 
dreams.  

I think Richelle is right, Harry probably does have some magic in his 
eyes.  But I also think he can perform the killing curse with them, 
perhaps without even meaning to--such as if his he is backed into a 
corner (without a wand) and full of hatred and revenge.

Now, I'll really go out on a limb.  JKR has said that, as it 
currently stands, the last word of book 7 is "scar".  Ever since I 
read that, I have written that sentence for myself to read something 
like: (Dumbledore speaking)"Harry, wandless, killed Voldemort with 
the very same curse that gave him his scar."

Thoughts?

fun 'n games.
