<snip>   And *Harry has his mother's (green) eyes* is to tell the 
readers and members of the wizarding world how to know that it is 
Harry that is standing in front of them and not someone else.


Kemper now:
I don't know about the TimeTurner stuff, I'm not a fan of those 
theories.  But I have been thinking about his eyes...

In GF, we have a dark potion.
"Bone of the father unknowingly given you will renew your son.
Flesh of the servant willingly given you will revive your master.
Blood of the enemy forcibly taken you will resurrect your foe."

What about on a fateful Halloween, there was a love charm.
Blood of the mother freely given you will protect your blood.
Soul of the mother secretly given you will guard your son.
Life of the mother knowingly given you will defend your child.

Lily cuts her hand then places her hand on Harry's forehead.  The cut 
on her hand is lightning/eihwaz shaped.  She looks into her son's 
eyes, and their souls touch.  A part of her soul stays with Harry; he 
has his mother's eyes.  Lily sacrifices herself, sealing 
the `mother's shield' charm.

What if one of the Ancient Laws of Magic, as it were, is you can't 
curse the dead and, if you do, something happens.  The curse rebounds 
back to the curser.  
So when the AK is cast against Harry, it rebounds back to LV because 
Lily is dead, and a part of Lily, through her charm, is in Harry.  

But then, why didn't LV die?  I don't know, but I'm thinking about it.
