Mimbeltonia once again pops in, not really up to date, please excuse 
me again, but:

I keep seeing people wondering about the significance of Harry having 
Lily's eys. I thought that was already obvious from the HPB, but 
maybe I misunderstood JKR's hint completely.

The _reason_ why Harry has Lily's eyes is not and was never a 
mystery - it is simply because he is her son.

The _significance_ (to the plot!) of his eyes looking exactly like 
his mother's  is the effect looking into Harry's (Lily's) imploring 
eyes has on Slughorn, whose favourite student she once were: He can 
not resist, and Harry receives the vital information, the horcrux 
memory.

Isn't that just it??
