I was also thinking about Lily's eyes, but it was the message about
colours (of spells e.g.) that made me think about it.
Because the colour of Lily's eyes are GREEN (same as Harry's spell in
GoF against LV) opposed to the eyes of LV ( and his spells): RED (or
at least with a red gleam, if I recall correctly).
So I susspect it just adds to them being the major opponents.
I think DD's spells are quite often silver, so that puts him in a
neutral position, I guess.
Maybe we should look more into detail in the use of colour
- o dear I have just realized the Weasleys all have red hair...
But than again it could also be that it is not only Lily's actual
eyes, but that in fact it stands for her point of view ( like with
Snape's pensieve incident).

I agree with that, but I am also counting on Ginny and Luna!
