Or will it be a clue that Harry, through lily, is related to Salazar Slytherin through Slytherin's Muggle side? 
Dragons were also called the "Great Wyrm" in ancient times, and were often portrayed as serpents, or serpent-bodied. (The Kraken seamonster/sea-serpent that Persues saved the maiden Andromeda is a good example). Perhaps it isn't Harry's physical vision that is his weak point, but rather his (as yet) inability to look at things/people/events surrounding him in a less subjective way, since one of the signs of maturity is trying to at least make an effort to be objective. This has been one of his main weaknesses so far, and we saw it truly displayed in the OOtP where Voldemort uses his lack of judgement to lead Harry to blindly follow his own will despite warnings from those around him....to the point where he refuses to even attempt to subjugate his emotions despite knowing/experiencing clear signs of the connection Voldemort has made.
Also, if it is possible that Lily was related to Slytherin Muggle-wise, maybe the mark left on Harry isn't a scar that's shaped like s lightening-bolt, but one shaped like an "S".
