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.

Sherrie here:

Green is the color of the heart chakra (energy center - sorry, I forgot that 
definition before), which is why the true stone of love isn't the diamond, 
it's the emerald.  It's the color associated with the element of Earth (as red 
with Fire, blue with Water, and yellow with Air - all four House colors), with 
fertility of mind, body and spirit; with abundance, success, money & good 
fortune.  

Some shades have slightly different meanings, though - I recall when I was 
studying auras that a sea-green color indicated healing abilities, while an 
olive green indicated deception and lies.

Of course, in standard lore, green is connected with jealousy and envy...
