oy... Following this line of thinking, Harry's related to Slytherin and Gryffindor (obvious Gryffindor possiblities, green eye possibility with Slytherin), Harry's related to Dumbledore and the Weasleys (red hair/Lily's hair)...
With the contacts thing, I know that, but I still think that if it was the only major hint that Harry is related to Slytherin (that he has green eyes), they would have found out SOME way (with computer graphics or something) to not have those prominent blue eyes staring at you all the freakin time. I mean, seriously, if green eyes were a major hint in the stories, and it's not backed up by a lot of other hints, then they would have done SOMETHING to have Harry's eyes be green, or at least they wouldn't have made Daniel Radcliffe's vivid blue eyes so obvious.
Not to mention, we all know that Daniel Radcliffe is no great shakes as an actor. If having green eyes were the major hint that Harry is related to Voldemort (which would obviously be a major storyline), the movie industry is not nice enough to not hire someone else. Happens all the time.
