I was kind of assuming that Nina got her hair color from her father. That's not to say that the reincarnation idea isn't right. I'm just saying that birthright is a possibility too.

Sort of, but in B&W, all we can see is that she got the two-color scheme itself from Eugene. His hair may be red/black for all we know. :)
Of course, if his hair actually matches Lamia's, this would raise the question about how Eugene is related to her. Then again, on that portrait she was not as obviously dual-toned as either Eugene or Maria. Still assuming the portrait is absolutely accurate, that is we're not misled by the painter choosing as the model Maria's first daughter, Eugene's niece or some other relative.

As to "the reincarnation idea" - while not impossible, it got, so far, no demonstrable cause-effect relationship with their supposed resemblance whatsoever. For all we can see, it's nothing more than anecdotal coincidence thrown in as a non-sequitur "proof" for lack of anything more substantial.

Yeah, I tried to sound not entirely certain about that being where she got the hair color from. When I first saw him, I figured that it was a given. I wouldn't bet my soul on it, but I'd probably bet twenty-five cents on it. It is possible that she got the purple hair through a recessive gene though.

Meh, we aren't even certain how rare the purple/black scheme is in the overall vampire community. It could be just as common as Layla, Dio, and Maria's black hair. The hair color doesn't even have to mean direct lineage.

I don't entirely throw away the reincarnation idea as a whole strictly because we don't know why Blair has his assignment... or what his assignment is exactly. There are a great number of possibilities though. We just don't know yet.

So many possibilities. The only thing that really suggests Queen Lamia is the simple fact that she has "appeared" before, and comics generally reuse such appearances. Especially given Nina's eyelight when talking about Queen Lamia. That really just means that Nina sees Queen Lamia as an ideal to strive for. She may recreate Queen Lamia without any reincarnation being involved - just hero worship.
Nina - or the youngest Delacroix daughter - is clearly special. Some have suggested that Blair has been in the Delacroix household for sometime, perhaps his mission is to keep an eye on the youngest daughter, and he's watched them (yes, in icky ways too) since he's been in the house.
Anyway, we are spoiled for choice as to possibilities for what this Nina thing means. Could be apocalyptic, could just be a vagary of Nina's development as a vampire.

But it's a far cry to suggest that Eugene would "necessarily recognize her". He would notice the similarity, that's all. As far as we know, vampires don't have some kind of "soul sight" that would make it certain. So there, Gotoh, quit saying it would be weird for Eugene not to recognize her. It wouldn't. Not only "lookalike" doesn't imply "reincarnation", but "reincarnation" doesn't imply "lookalilke" either.
It's equally weird to just say 'oh, this baby was born and it's really somebody else who the father JUST HAPPENED to know. And whether they look similar or not, he doesn't seem to recognize this similarity despite it being so blatantly obvious that everybody else seems to think it.'

"Diablerize?" What's that mean? :-\
It is an expression from the "vampire- the masquerade" RPG from White Wolf publishers. It means "the act committed by a vampire that drinks the blood of another vampire against the victim's will".
It's not just drinking it, which isn't so bad. It's completely devouring all the blood to the point of dryness and death.
