      Considering the emphasis that has been put on the colour of 
Harry's eyes, I think that it will be interesting to see if Harry has a 
sudden change of eye colour when the portion of Voldemorte's soul is 
removed. I am assuming, of course, that Harry is carrying a piece of 
Voldie's soul.  I am not clear why his eyes would be the same colour as 
his mother's eyes, as a result of this event, however. Voldemorte's eyes 
were described as dark before they started to turn red. If the green of 
Harry's eyes has something specific to Lily's sacrifice, they might 
change colour when the blood protection is lifted on Harry's birthday.
Interesting questions.
