Is there a part of Lily in her son additional to that which any 
mother muggle or witch) normally conveys to her children?

Hannah: I originally made the suggestion (unless someone has in the 
past) that Lily AK'ed Harry to save him from a worse fate.  I 
suggested it to create debate and try to see the thing from a 
different angle, I'm not saying that I really believe that is what 
happened, though I do think it is a possibility worth considering.  

I've never personally thought the green eyes were significant, 
though I can see the logic behind it.  One thing that I don't 
understand though, is that if green eyes are so important, why does 
Dan Radcliffe of the forbidden media have blue eyes?  We know JKR 
had plenty of influence over the film, and thinks Radcliffe is an 
ideal Harry.  If his having green eyes was going to be vital to the 
plot later, wouldn't she have made them chose a green-eyed actor/ 
got them to put green contact lenses in his eyes/ digitally enhance 
him to have green eyes?
