Julie:
I have been looking for a connection between the deaths of James and 
Lily and the continuous emphasis on Lily/Harry's eyes.  Lily exelled 
at charms.  Can this be done through eyes, without wand?  If so, 
perhaps this is why her death is of more importance.  She was in the 
room with Harry, facing Voldemort.  Any other thoughts?
