I don't think it's the eyes that will prove important. I think it 
will be Lily's skill with Charms, as suggested by Ollivander's 
description of her first wand in SS/PS. 

Valky:
I tend to agree with this, there is most certainly a connection 
between the self taught Animagi and the wand "good for 
transfiguration" choosing him, IMO. I have always thought this, but 
largely I've been met with disagreement about that, I guess we're in 
that boat together, Carol. :D
I also believe that it is a good basis for further pstulation that 
the Charm wand that chose Lily is a clue to something yet to be 
revealed about her ability.
Now just let me add an interesting thought to that bag for us.
Clearly, Animagi transformation is not *exactly* transfiguration, 
don't get me wrong I am definitely one of the crew that is certain 
it is a related branch of magic, keep reading.
Now, since the _surprise!_ reveal of James as an Animagi is 
something *related* to the clue in his wandtype but *not* explicity 
_Spelled Out_ by that clue, isn't the logical step then to consider 
that the _Surprise!_ about Lily will be the same? ie It will be 
something *related* to Charms but not necessarily or specifically a 
Charm in the purest sense.

Valky:
I agree, the shape of the scar and the eiwahz rune are probably 
significant, but maybe we /should/ make a list of all the *other* 
things about the scar that might be the more significant thing JKR 
speaks of. It may be just what you need to prove the point. ;P
