My own opinion of the eyes situation is very different, and purely 
speculative, based on no canon whatsoever.  Green, and more 
specifically emerald, is associated with "future time energy" 
(http://library.thinkquest.org/25782/cmwdata.pl?
get_file_path=informative/mood_and_behaviour/psychologyofcolour.cmw#Gr
een).  I think it's very possible that Harry could have real 
divination talents that could be used in the fight against 
Voldemort.  In PoA time travel was already introduced - perhaps 
foreshadowing future events?  
Furthermore (and here's where my theory goes slightly crazy), if 
Harry is Gryffindor's heir (which I assume we all believe?), that 
would mean that a) Gryffindor appointed him(?), and b) as a relative 
of Gryffindor they both share some of the same qualities.  What if he 
and Gryffindor were both seers?  

I know, I know, there's absolutely nothing that backs up anything I 
just said.  I like the idea though!

I think something like, *As he looked in the mirror a frown fell 
across his face.
"Where's my scar?"* would be really cute.  

- Fran, who is new and might as well take this opportunity to 
introduce herself.  And to stop talking in the third person!  I'm 
British, 20, and kind of a student (it's a long story) :)
