Another thing that is green are Dobby's eyes.
But anyway, my half-formed theory, with no real proof, is that
certain physical characteristics designate certain proficiencies in
one or more areas of magic. Moody's fake eye is electric blue, and,
as we know, enables him to see through things. DD's eyes are light
blue, and there are constant allusions to DD "seeming to see right
through a person." So, maybe his eyes are especially good for
Legilimens or something. I think that's why a lot of people believe
Lily and Harry's eyes have something to do with an innate ability in
Charms, thought we are only told Lily was exceptionally good in this
area, Harry seems just slightly better than average. Maybe his eyes
help with jinxes/hexes in DADA. Same with the long fingers/powerful
wizard theory.
Or eye color could designate character traits. Harry, Lily, and
Dobby are very loving. Hermione, Ginny, and Winky all have brown
eyes. Maybe that means something. Just speculation. (James eyes
were hazel.)
And LV's eyes being red... well, I doubt they started out that way,
probably an after-effect of a self-inflicted spell, and we all know
he's evil.
Ok, I'm done pointlessly speculatingly about things I can't prove :-)
