His Mother's Eyes

"His mother's eyes" still has me facinated.  I keep thinking about 
the possible ways JKR is going with this bit of information.   

Lily did not have to die?  Why, because LV was going to spare her - 
no way!  Lily was able to conjure or call whatever she needed to 
save herself with or without a wand.  She had the power to save 
herself or Harry and she chose Harry.  Love and sacrifice - powerful 
engery!

Harry has the same ability as his mother and it must have something 
to do with the eyes.  Before knowing he was a wizard think of all 
those times when he felt truely threatened then suddenly he "found 
himself" out of reach. Then Hagrid asked him in SS if he ever did 
something he couldn't explain when he was scared or frightened.  
Hagrid is known for his slip of the tongue - Harry was so shocked 
about the wizard part that he probably doesn't remember the details 
of what Hagrid said that night - a future Pensieve moment maybe?

Every book has Harry summoning something or someone to help him - 
all quite unaware of his power to do so.  How else could he have 
defeated LV or the DE's as a novice wizard?

We know that Colin Creevy did some weird things as other unaware 
wizards most likely have but I can bet they weren't self-saving like 
Harry's.
