Hmmm.  This made me think.  First, we don't know if Harry would have 
needed glasses had the AK curse not been performed on him.  Second,  
does it seem odd at all that he's so good at spotting the smallest, 
fastest ball used in Quidditch, yet wears glasses?   

I wonder, is Harry's vision 20/20 with his glasses?  Seems like there 
is a line from one of the books, as part of the narrative, that says so 
something like, for nothing was Harry the youngest Quidditch player in 
a century; he had a knack for seeing things others didn't."  Is that 
because of his glasses or in spite of them?
