For all of you who have discussed the Snape/Lily romantic 
possibilities, I think Harry having Lily's eyes would definitely be a 
constant and anguishing reminder to Snape of what he did towards 
causing Lily's death.  Slughorn has made it clear that anyone who 
admired or loved Lily cannot help but be moved in seeing those eyes 
in her son.  Has the list already discussed how those eyes could help 
Harry in his fight, or who else they could motivate to help Harry?
