Meh, this is just the ramblings of a fan, but please bear with me for a bit, mmk?

For starters, everyone here raises a point that, in their own way, makes sense. Ruby's eyes simply reminding Ozpin of a past acquaintence, a prophecy containing a line about a silver-eyed girl, or her eyes possibly holding some in universe significance such as a power boost. Another possiblity that I'm surprised nobody mentioned is that her silver eyes may be some sort of blood trait, which could link her to some great destiny or legacy. Who knows? But a few things are for sure, and they become somewhat obvious if you watch all of the 'sodes a few times.

1) Her eyes hold more importance to Ozpin than just familiarity. He does mention her eyes seemingly randomly. In that situation, if it wasn't Ozpin who noted it, it could've been thought of as a very creepy comment coming from someone.

2) Based off of the previous, we can determine the silver eyes hold some sort of significance in the world of RWBY. What this is, we do not know, nor will we know until it is revealed in the show proper.

3) We have no idea of what eye colors of prevalent in the RWBY-verse. While to us, blue and brown are normal, with a few rare colors like green, amber/yellow, etc. thrown in, we're completely in the dark about what's normal in their universe.

4) So far, her eyes were only mentioned once. I agree with the pevious comment regarding Checkhov's gun here. Something insignificant like eye color could lead to a defining moment in the show, perhaps the climax of a major arc, or the beginning of an all new arc. But we have yet to hear any more mention of her eyes, so for now, just keep theorizing.

Sorry for the long winded break down. YMMV, so take my ideas how you will. The theories are not bad, so keep them coming, One of us may hit something. Whther it's the theory of familiarity, prophecy, or even my random theory of lineage, we can only hypothesis in the meantime and wait for the epsiodes to enlighten us.
