Ceridwen:
I thought he might be looking into Harry's eyes to see why he had 
given up most of his adult life, and to see who he was dying for.  
Maybe everything was growing dark.  He may have been trying to send a 
message to Harry, or trying to Legilimens Harry to be assured that 
all of his sacrifices weren't for nothing.  When someone says "Look 
at me", though, especially an adult to a child, the adult is usually 
either going to lecture or tell the child something, or is trying to 
read if the child is telling the truth.
