Sawsan now:

Ok, so purple is a highly spiritual color, so what is it about the
color green? Harry's eyes and the fact that they are green like his
mother's is very important. There are other things that are green as
well in the series, such as the Slytherin colors, and the get of green
light from Voldie's AK spell. I mainly would like to know how the
color green is relevant to Lily and Harry's eyes. I am sure this has
been discussed before, but I thought I would give it a shot anyway and
ask.

Also, I have read that Harry's eyes are weak, and that JKR stresses
the importance of his glasses. I wonder what is so important about
ordinary, and probably cheap, muggle glasses. Why and how are they
important? Why are Harry's eyes so weak? Is it just a normal muggle
optometry problem?
