The thing is, infants eyes are often a generic blue-grey
in color, especially when they are newborns.  Infants
who will have darker eyes may already have them, but
infants who will have lighter eyes are often born with
a kind of steel-blue color in their eyes.  So Sirius
could have seen the infant Harry and the older Harry
and not have been particularly impressed with the change
in eye color. 

Interesting idea.
