(in 'An Eye and an Egg' - or was that title the other way around?)
Now me:
Actually, it's a classic JKR humorous reference to a title of a book
that was popular in the 50's or so. The book was The Egg and I, which
is a story about misadventures in chicken farming. Hence, the chapter
title must be The Egg and Eye to promote the joke.

OT post script - the author of The Egg and I got TB after publishing
her book and wrote a sequel - The Plague and I. Sorry - I've been
laughing at that title for 30 years and had to share.
