Bart:
	I mentioned it before, but I'm going to mention it before, because it's 
a longshot, and I'm not even sure of the implications if it's true, but 
it fits canon.

	Harry's memory of his parents' deaths includes a blinding green light. 
Harry has been told many, many times that he has Lily's eyes.

	What if he had not escaped from the AK spell with just a scar? What if 
he WAS blinded? What if those ARE Lily's eyes???? In other words, what 
if JKR was speaking literally, rather than using figures of speech?
