now. Voldemort's eyes are red, Harry's are green. Red=Gryffindor, and 
green=Slytherin. ... I think that it enforces that while Harry (and 
possibly Lily?) have a bit of Voldemort inside him, Voldemort has 
some of Harry in him too.

Cassie, I now think the usage of colour might not be that meaningful 
in the end (there a plenty of red and green light spells by each 
side), and I would rather stick to my other explanation about
Lily's 
eyes, which is to be also a metaphor for her views, of which we 
learned in Snape's worst memory.

But if anyone can add to the colour-scheme view of the books, I look 
forward to read it.

Thanks for the posts about the colour of Gryffindor-Slytherin house.
