Shit's all sorts of different now.
I don't have my copy of DH with me right now, but does it say what color Lily Potter's eyes are? Harry's daughter.

I can't remember whether it does.
Just make them green.

See, that's the thing. I want them to be brown, like Ginny's.
Petunia's getting Aunt Lily's eyes.
It's gonna play into Lily's feelings of having to fit into her grandmother's shoes.

Okay, I would guess that green and brown would likely give you brown because I think that green is actually brown with a modifier that makes it lighter. Like a dilution of brown.

Aren't the younger son's eyes noted as being the only ones like Harry's/his mother's of ther the three children?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
finally gets off arse, reaches over to bookshelf, checks.
Yep.
"Alone of Harry's three children, Albus had inherited Lily's eyes."
(...may be a paraphrase now, as I've had to retype it. Stoopid connection.)

I love watching an author in the throes of research. "Can I do this--yes! That fits! Ha!"

I'm rereading Sorcerer's Stone. After the much lighter American edit of the last few books, I'm noticing how many British words were changed in this one. The most obvious (other than Sorcerer's Stone rather than Philosopher's) is that the Weasley kids call their mother "Mom" rather than "Mum." I can understand (though not quite agree with) why they'd change stuff like jumper or lorrie, but why change that?
