If her eyes aren't red and she has very little black pigment then I'd say Hypo.


having checked on 'the Bible' and after much deliberation on the colour of Angelina's eyes I agree with BE - hypo motley

Hypomelanistic means reduced black pigment (black eyes and some on belly) as opposed to total lack in Amelanistic (red eyes).

However, as yours is Motley too it will have no belly pattern, leaving you with the only black to be found in the eyes.

just had a look on a morph webpage and it said that hypo has reduced black pigment, GP, BE is this how you would describe hypo, this sounds right for snape although it then goes on to say that they have dark ruby red eyes, snapes eyes look black to me!!
