' My mother's eyes, yeah.' Harry had heard it so often he found it a bit wearing.
(Snape's memory as seen by Harry, OotP, CH29) She had thick, dark red hair that fell to her shoulders, and startlingly green almond-shaped eyes. It was one of the girls from the lake edge. 'Except the eyes,' said a wheezy-voiced, silver-haired wizard at the back. 'Yeah, I see what you mean, Remus,' said a bald black wizard standing furthest back he had a deep, slow voice and wore a single gold hoop in his ear 'he looks exactly like James.' She looked the youngest there she had a pale heart-shaped face, dark twinkling eyes, and short spiky hair that was a violent shade of violet. 'Oooh, he looks just like I thought he would,' said the witch who was holding her lit wand aloft. "Tears fill those startlingly green eyes as our conversation turns to the parents he can barely remember." (Rita Skeeter's article, GoF, CH18 - no comparison to mother) (Mrs Weasley, GoF, CH10 - no comparison to mother) 'I thought they'd bring out the colour of your eyes, dear,' said Mrs Weasley fondly. his dress robes didn't have any lace on them at all in fact, they were more or less the same as his school ones, except that they were bottle green instead of black. Except for your eyes - you have your mother's eyes.' (Dumbledore, PoA, CH22) 'I expect you're tired of hearing it, but you do look extraordinarily like James. 'An easy mistake to make,' said Dumbledore softly. This was partly because he didn't think he could stand Fred and George singing, "His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad" one more time (same place) "Here is your singing valentine: 'His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,'." (Singing Dwarf, CoS, CH12 - no comparison to mother) Nice wand for charm work.' (Ollivander, PS, CH4) Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wand. 'Yeh look a lot like yer dad, but yeh've got yer mum's eyes.' (Hagrid, PS, CH4) The eyes - the resemblance to the love of his life - was what drove Snape to help Dumbledore to the end. Snape seemed to peer through a haze of pain, and Dumbledore’s words appeared to take a long time to reach him. “If you loved Lily Evans, if you truly loved her, then your way forward is clear.” “And what use would that be to anyone?” said Dumbledore coldly.
You remember the shape and color of Lily Evans’s eyes, I am sure?” With a tiny jerk of the head, Snape seemed to flick off an irksome fly. Weren’t you hoping that Lord Voldemort would spare her?” “She and James put their faith in the wrong person,” said Dumbledore. “I thought…you were going…to keep her…safe…” So, before his death, Snape wanted to see Harry's Lily-like eyes.Īnd, of course, the most important - the Snape's memories from DH: The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pan seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank, and empty.
#PS1 HAGRID AS SOON AS I HEARD FULL#
When the falsk was full to the brim, and Snape looked as though there was no blood left in him, his grip on Harry’s robes slackened. The most important: Snape and Dumbledore, in DH (CH22/CH23): Of them, 2 or 3 are of extremely critical importance to the plot. Of them, told to Harry (may be indirectly): All 10 Of them, comparisons to Lily's: 9 direct, and one implied. TL:DR: Counts Mentions of Harry's Green eyes: 20 As an interesting side note, JKR mentioned in CoS that Dobby's eyes were green as well - and of course, he sacrificed his life to save Harry, as Lily did.
In addition, the eyes seem to be a pretty big characterization point for JKR - she frequently mentions other characters' eyes, more often than other appearances. Of course, we know now that JKR was referring to Snape's story as told in DH. "All about Harry Potter from quidditch to the future of the Sorting Hat," The Boston Globe, October 18, 1999) But he has his mother's eyes and that's very important in a future book." ( Loer, Stephanie. Harry has his father and mother's good looks. I've even drawn a picture of how they look. Q: Do you know what Harry's parents look like?Ī: "Yes. So if you’re casting Lily, there needs to be a resemblance, but they don’t absolutely have to be green.” (Deathly Hallows 2 DVD) Rowling: And I said, um, “The only really important thing is that his eyes look like his mother’s eyes. This is confirmed with this interview with JKR and Daniel Radcliffe: To start off, the mother's eyes were very important to J.K.
