There is an old quote about eyes. They say you can see into someone's
soul through them. If this is why JKR put the eye colors in them,
then it would represent a lot of things. JKR seems to use a lot
of "colors" in her books. Green being the most common color. She
seems to use green as death, pain, suffering, etc... This would
explain why Harry's eyes are green. He has to go through a lot of
pain and suffering and possibly death. Voldemorts eyes are red. Red
usually represents fire, passion and conviction. Voldemort's
personality is exactly that. DD's eyes are blue. Blue usually
represents peace and harmony. Also explains DD's personality very
nicely. Snape's eyes are black. Black usually represents darkness,
deception, etc... Perfect for Snape's personality. He is a "double
agent" if you will.

With this "theory" it would also explain why DD's eyes looked green
in the reflection of the basin. He knew that he was going to have to
endure whatever it was that was going to hurt him. Again using the
green color as pain and suffering. I think that JKR put this in to
foreshadow the events to come in DD's life.

Ron's eye color shouldn't really matter to much. Ron has always been
sorta wishy washy when it comes to things. He will be there for you
when you need him. But he will have the "you sure" attitued to go
along with it. So if I had to pick an eye color for Ron, I would say
his eye color should be hazel, because they seem to change colors
depending on the mood that person is in.

This is just my theory behind it.
