I am sure this topic has been brought before. But I would like to 
open it up again.  The only thing Harry seems to have inherited from 
his mother is his startling green eyes.  Sometimes I wonder if any 
other attributes may have been inherited that we have not been 
introduced to yet.  I know at some point the importance of Harry's 
eyes is going to be brought foward in the series-according to JKR, 
who seemed rather suprised that someone apparently caught onto the 
green eye connection.  I guess what I am wanting to discuss here is 
any theories the rest of you have concerning Harry's green eyes-their 
importance.  First, let me present my ideas concerning the eyes.  
Voldemort's rise to power was set into motion by his overwhelming 
resentment of his muggle father.  What better way to bring about or 
at least, set into motion, the downfall of Voldemort than through an 
ability of Harry's inherited from his muggle-born mother.  I am not 
talking fate here- as I have repeated many times, I do not believe in 
fate-I am talking about Harry's ability to realize within himself a 
power inherited from his mother.  Harry's love for his muggle-born 
mother is in direct oppostion to Voldemort's disdain for all things 
muggle.  Lily's love for Harry has already proven valuable.  IMO, I 
do not believe we have seen the last of Lily Potter's abilities -
passed onto her son-in action.
