Which made me think about the fact that Harry's eyes are green, which 
is the colour of Slytherin House and Voldemort's are red, which is 
the colour of Gryffindor.  JKR has also said that the colour of 
Harry's eyes are significant (sorry can't remember which interview, 
but in World Book Day online chat she says "no comment!" when asked 
about Harry's eye colour) the sorting hat still insists Harry should 
be in Slytherin. hmmm ...
