charme:

>From the Unicorn Collector's site and reproduced just about everywhere I
could find:

"Their eyes can be any shade of color as a human's can be, or some tales
claim that most Unicorn's eyes are pure blue like staring into the heavenly
sky."

So, I'm guessing either JKR has her own interpretation OR maybe Dumbledore
is more likely to have unicorn blood - his eyes are described as, I think,
something like "twinkling light blue."  I think it's in one of the 1st
chapters of PS/SS... don't have my book handy or I'd check for you.

Hope this helps!
