AUSSIE:
The main evidence for an Opal-Eye and not Norbert is the eye colour.

But, as Sirius wanted to say to Harry, the eyes of a dragon are it's 
weak spot. Krum or Fleur used a "conjunctivitus spell" during their 
first task. The colour may come from the same spell.

If the wings are damaged, it stands to reason that the eyes would 
have been cursed as well. That would mean the Dragon was even more 
dependant on its rider to guide it from the battle.

Fly, Norbert, Fly.
