Given that Liquid was misinformed about LET, the relationship between superiority/inferiority and dominance/recessiveness cannot be defined, based on the available information. It can be argued that using hair/eye color as the determining factor of gene inheritance is a moot point, since these are often the result of character design choices, rather than being story-based.

As for the MGS1 briefing, it looks more like a dimly-lit holding cell than a medical bay. In The Twin Snakes, it does look like a well-lit medical bay (and less visually interesting, IMO). It was likely a stylistic choice to have Snake's hair appear fair-colored in MGS1's briefing, to contrast with both his face AND background being dark (or even black in some shots), an issue that doesn't exist in the Twin Snakes' briefing.

Regarding Solid Snake's potential appearance in The Phantom Pain, I believe he will make a brief cameo in the game, but not necessarily during the scene that is depicted in the E3 2015 trailer. Throughout the MGS series, Hideo Kojima's directing style has incorporated a lot of thematic visuals and symbolism, not to be viewed on a strictly literal level.
