Me:
Carrying on with that theme, having his mother's eyes - literally - 
could that explain why Harry reacted to Snape's worst memory the way 
he did?  After all, he stated (rather flatly) that Lily hated 
James.  It wasn't a question to Sirius and Lupin, it seemed to be a 
statement.

Hmmm.  So interesting.
