I'd thought of that possibility myself, and posted the question at 
The-Leaky-Caudron.org.  Not much discussion followed, but most others 
didn't seem to like the idea, pointing out Harry's unruly hair and 
scar, while others pointed out that Tonks had to concentrate rather 
hard to bring about a change.

I think he has the potential to be a metamorphmagus, and that we 
shall yet see this.  One item to contemplate in this regard is that 
he has (until well into OotP) idolized both his parents.  While he 
may well have his father's looks and his mother's eyes by genetic 
inheritance, how do we explain the unruly hair?  It was apparently an 
affectation on his father's part, but has Harry unwittingly chosen to 
make his hair unruly like his father's all these years, based upon 
submerged memories of James?
