Peter J. Wagner responds:

Rowling never said that Lily's eyes would play a big
part in Hallows.  Instead, she said that they'd be
important in a future book when a "future book" meant
Order, Prince, or Hallows.

Lily's eyes were CRITICAL in Prince: it was those baby
green Chekovian howitzers that got Slughorn to cough
up the critical memory.  Sluggy's final words before
coughing up the memory were "and you have her eyes"
(or something like that).

Now, Rowling might fire the Lily's eyes guns again: if
she does, then I'm betting that it will be with good
old Severus Snape.  He cared about Harry's parents but
hated James.  Logically, this can mean only one
thing.....
