Me:  The view from Harry's glasses, I love it!  But, I have a few
questions.  Hopefully someone from this deep vat of Potter knowledge
would know the answer.

1.  Where did Harry get his glasses from?

       a.  I don't think the Dursley's would buy them.
       b.  Harry has nothing new.  Only Dudley's old things.

2.  Did DD send the glasses?

        a.  Could they be James old glasses?
        b.  Could they be magical glasses?  Handed down thru the 
            Potter's.

Harry never seems to need to get new ones.  I know people keep fixing
them but, what about changing the 'script?  I have to go every few
years, but Harry never seems to need to.

The memior idea is great... I think Harry's glasses are the ones
telling the story.... Harry has died of old age, a few days before. 
His oldest boy 
picks up his fathers glasses from the bedside table.  He puts them on
like he used to as a child, smiling with the memory,  and he starts
seeing his fathers life... thru the eyes of his fathers glasses?

I know no cannon.  But, I find the glasses point of view fascinating.
