Carol:
I read somewhere (here?) that he *can't* wear contacts. I assume that
the obstacle will be overcome by writing the movie script to indicate
that Harry inherited his father's build, hair, and glasses but his
mother's eyes. The eyes don't necessarily have to be green for the
motif to work. They just have to noticeably resemble Lily's.
