Combat styles: Voldemort excels at offense (fighting three Order members at once in the final battle); Harry excels at defense (casting Protego across the Great Hall, effectively dividing it in half).

Both questioned Horace Slughorn about Horcruxes.
Both convinced The Grey Lady to reveal the location of Ravenclaw’s diadem.
The Shrieking Shack: Both attacked Snape there (Harry in Prisoner of Azkaban, Voldemort in Deathly Hallows).
The Defiance of Authority: Throughout the series, Harry deliberately avoids addressing Snape as "sir" or "professor"; in Half-Blood Prince, Tom similarly avoids using these titles with Dumbledore. Prompting sharp reminders from their teachers until the boys reluctantly comply.
The Shared Secret:
Dumbledore: "Is there something you wish to tell me?"
Harry and Tom: "No, sir, nothing."

Father Figures: Barty Crouch Jr. wanted Voldemort as a father figure, while Sirius Black wanted to see Harry’s father, James, in him.
Defining the Man: In Book 4, during the duel, Voldemort says to Harry: “And now you face me, like a man…”; in Book 7, in the final battle, Harry says to Voldemort: “Be a man… try… Try for some remorse…”
In Book 4, they stand in a circle surrounded by the Dark side during their duel; in Book 7, they stand in a circle surrounded by the Light side during their final confrontation.
Mirrored Ages: In the final battle, their ages are exact reflections of one another —Voldemort is 71, while Harry is 17.
5. Character and Psychology
Boundless curiosity and a pull toward danger.
The Drive for Autonomy: Both value freedom and self-expression.
Self-reliance: Both prefer to handle their most important matters alone.
Both tend to lose themselves in their obsessions — whether it's Voldemort's pursuit of immortality and the Elder Wand, or Harry’s fixation on Malfoy’s mission and the Hallows.
Both possess a strong, almost supernatural intuition.
Defiance of the Norm: Both ignore many social obligations and rules.
Status: Neither cares about blood purity (Tom in a negative sense; Harry in a positive one).
The Understanding: Voldemort states, "Neither of you understands Potter as I do"; Ron tells Harry, "You really understand him [Voldemort]."

Defectors: Both had members of their circles switch sides, fundamentally changing the war: Severus Snape (from Dark to Light) and Peter Pettigrew (from Light to Dark).
Secret Communication: Both used a magical method to contact their inner circle (the Dark Mark for Voldemort, enchanted coins for Harry).
7. Symbolism and Myth
7 is their number.
Seven locations and seven direct attempts by Voldemort to kill Harry (Godric’s Hollow, the chamber of the Mirror of Erised, the Forbidden Forest, the Little Hangleton graveyard, the Atrium of the Ministry of Magic, the Battle of the Seven Potters, and the Great Hall).
Voldemort “killed” Harry on Samhain (October 31 — the turning point where light yields to darkness); Harry killed Voldemort on Beltane (May 1–2 — the turning point where light returns and triumphs over darkness).
Harry’s wand: Holly (Tiwaz rune: warrior, spear)
11 inches (11th Arcana: Strength);
His forehead scar (Sowilo rune: sun) combined with the holly wand forms a warrior of the sun.
Tom’s wand: Yew (Eihwaz rune: death, immortality, and transition)
13½ inches (13th Arcana: Death);
Here, 13 represents a complete cycle of death and transformation, while the ½ signifies incompleteness, a refusal to accept change or the natural cycle.
Christmas wreaths made of holly and yew symbolize eternal life.
The Ouroboros: In the final battle in the Great Hall, Harry and Voldemort circle each other before the final strike.
The Holy Trinity: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit represent Dumbledore, Harry, and Love, while the Devil is Voldemort.
