Perhaps it is his "vision" that is his weakness.  Not his eyes 
physically but what he can see with them.  If he was unable to see 
Sirius in the DOM, then he would not have put Sirius or his friends 
at risk by trapsing off to save Sirius. (I know they were mental 
projections of LV's) It seems that what he sees does get him in 
trouble alot, the mirror, the spiders, etc. Maybe Harry will see the 
death of a friend too close to him, Ron or Hermione perhaps, and 
this "vision" will push him too far to the brink of insanity.  Harry 
must be pretty close to a mental break down now, after all he has 
been through and everything he knows (through the prophecy) that is 
still to come.  Talk about stress, geez.
