Don't you think that something must happen in Book 6 or 7 about Harry 
having his mother's eyes? JKR hits us over the head with this 
observation several times in the first few books -- every time 
someone who knew Lily meets Harry -- but it remains undeveloped. JKR 
has also mentioned Switching spells several times, without much 
description and certainly without having Switching spells playing a 
part in any plot.

I'm thinking that Book 6 or 7 may have Harry as the subject of a 
Switching spell -- maybe someone will take over his body, or take the 
form of his body without inhabiting Harry's actual body. Suppose that 
the ploy doesn't work though, because whoever tries (Voldemort? 
Bellatrix? Malfoy?) can't duplicate Lily's eyes?

I also hope that Fred and George continue making us laugh. I agree 
with Harry -- we need the laughter.
