something different about Harry's eyes. It seems that somehow 
Harry's eyesight was compromised and if it was just from the failed 
curse, then why hasn't he (and why haven't we) been told? It 
wouldn't be a big mystery to anyone since the scar is so close to 
his eyes. There must  be some other mystery to the glasses and his 
eyes.


Tonks:

JKR says that he has his mother's eyes and she also says that his 
eyes are the most vulnerable thing about him, or something like 
that. It is possible that she is not talking about the physical 
here. If he sees the world through the eyes of compassion, through 
the eyes of love, then he is vulnerable. "We fools who love" as DD 
says. Harry is vulnerable in a way that we assume that (don't wear 
your heart on your sleeve) Snape is not.
