LV and "Reflected" AK curse - it's the eyes!

<snip> Now with Julie's post above I am wondering if that is 
where "You have your Mother's eyes" (times 100!) comes into the 
equation.  Are Harry's eyes what deflected the curse?  Had Lily 
somehow invoked some sort of charm on Harry's eyes to enable them to 
do this?  So not only does he have his mother's eyes in that his eyes 
look the same as hers, but he has his mother's eyes in that he has 
the eyes  that she 'made' for him?

weaken his vision?)

Oh Karen, this is a beautiful hypothesis and my mind went into 
overdrive with variations of this theory.    

We know Lily invoked/used 'ancient magic' to protect Harry.  Perhaps 
this ancient magic was to *literally* put herself into Harry's body 
to protect him and somehow absorb the majority of the curse.  That 
could also be why Harry hears her screaming in his head when the 
Dementors were around, she was actually in his head at the time.  
Anyway, the curse hit Harry where the scar is, Lily absorbed it, and 
because of this spell, it then reflected back at LV through 
Harry's/Lily's (because she is the one invoking the magic) eyes.  

That could use a little polishing, but there it is.
