with their eyes alone vaporizing Voldemort's body, killing Lily,
making Harry unable to see well and leaving the scar on his
forehead. If this theory is correct, Harry will have to face
Voldemort without his glasses in the end. This would be a very
terrifying thing for a person who cannot see well since one does
feel vulnerable without one's glasses.

Valky:
I have been thinking a lot about this topic, it's very interesting.
I went back through my books with it in mind and found something
curious, each time Harry faces Voldemort there is some reference to
blindness nearby.
In the Forest when he first spies Vapourmort slithering along the
ground - Harry stumbles backward, _blindy_ PS/SS
Down the trapdoor in front of the mirror when Quirrel gets burned by
the love in Harry's skin - Harry couldn't see
In the Chamber of Secrets - Harry runs with his eyes closed to avoid
being pertrified by the basilisk, Fawkes pokes out the basilisks
yellow eyes.
In GOF which I haven't got but I can vaguely remember - Harry's
injured leg casues him blinding pain.
In OOtP when Voldemort jumps inside him _ Harry is described as
blinded and dying.... AND when he wakes, curiously, his glasses are
*off* :-O
Now I don't know what all this means, but it's all there, black and
white, clear as ..... blindness?
Now, who's got a theory? :D
