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.

Hi all, 

The other thing that's green are the snake's eyes in the COS.  (The carved snake on the wall that opens.  The eyes are made of green stones.)  And yes, the basilisk's eyes are vunerable.  Harry is only able to defeat him once Fawkes destroys the eyes for him.  The snake's eyes are it's weapon--see them and die.  As you know, though, the basilisk that Harry fights has yellow eyes...hmm...

On another note, I don't know if it's already been discussed, but the ancient romans called a basilisk "Regulus", for little king.
