Tj here:  Well, When Hermione used impervious, so Harry could see to
finish the game, but, it *didn't* matter that Harry could *see* the
dementors.  Harry could feel (hear) them... the screaming in his head.
 He didn't need to see the dementors to FEEL their presence.  And
Lily's eyes...is an intersting post.  But, no one has brought up the
one thing (the first thing) I think of when they refer to "lily's
eyes" all the time.  The EYES are the window to the soul.  Harry and
Lily are bonded, at their souls.  Harry *looks* like his dad... but
deep down in his soul, he is like his mother.  Compassionate, loving,
willing to fight for someone, even when H/L don't know who they are:
(ie, Harry, for Fleur's little sister, Lily for Snape).  They are also
willing to give second chances, (Harry to Ron, Lily to James). 

Well, just tossing this into the fire... ta .. Tj
