>Rowling's quality control is legendary, as is her obsession with 
accuracy. She's thrilled with Stephen Fry's taped version of the 
books, outraged that an Italian dust jacket shows Harry minus his 
glasses. "Don't they understand that they are the clue to his 
vulnerability?"

Betsy:
So here's my guess: Harry has Lily's eyes, but unlike his mother, he 
doesn't see people for who they are as well as she could - hence the 
glasses.
