Strange Likenesses

"There are strange likenesses between us, after all. Even you must have noticed. Both half-bloods, orphans, raised by Muggles. Probably the only two Parselmouths to come to Hogwarts since the great Slytherin himself. We even look something alike..."

Back to Voldemort

 Wow, so what's up with that? Harry and Voldemort....alike in so many ways? Even Harry gets ants in his pants contemplating the idea! Of course, Dumbledore reassures Harry that there are major differences between the two: one chose Good, and one Evil to work with.

 Much has been revealed to us in Book 5 and yet...we still don't know exactly why Voldemort came after Harry and not Neville. Likewise, we don't know how Harry's parents "defied" Voldemort 3 times. We also don't know exactly what that power is that Harry has that Voldemort doens't...Ah, books 6 & 7, we await thee...
