I have to disagree. I think Lily is the key to the whole thing. The 
only reason Harry survived Avada Kedavra was because of Lily. SHE 
made the choice to sacrifice herself and give Harry a future.

Which is why this idea of V'mort marking anyone as an equal is 
bugging me. Without Lily, both Neville and Harry would have simply 
died. Lily changed all that when she saved Harry. Lily made the 
choice, not V'mort. The only choice V'mort made was to target the 
boys to be killed. (Which is why I think the prophecy is bogus & I 
dont trust Dumbeldores interpretation of it.)

That being said, I think there is something yet to be learned about 
Harrys unusual green eyes. What that is remains a mystery.
