wearing glasses seems to be a frequent returning feature among wizards.
Potter Junior and Senior, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Arthur Weasley, Rita 
Skeeter, Scrimgeour.... to name a few, all wearing glasses.
unless you mean Dumbledore with Albus you are correct, young Albus 
inherited Lily's eyes, Harry's poor eyesight came from his father's 
side.
But it always struck me while reaing that glasses were mentioned so 
often. maybe the genes for eyesight are connected with the genes for 
magic, although I don't think JKR went that deep into the matter.
