Answer 3

When Voldemort tried to kill Harry he accidentally put part of his soul in Harry. So they are both Parselmouths (can speak to snakes) and the Sorting Hat considered putting Harry into Slytherin where Voldemort had been. Also Harry sometimes sees flashes of what Voldemort is seeing as Voldemort himself, and once as Niagini (Voldemort's snake).

Answer 4

The similarities are explained in the books by Dumbledore to Harry fairly often especially in the Half Blood Prince so as Harry knows what he is up against. However here are just some that I can remember so this list isn't exclusive.

1. They are both half-bloods.

Harry's mother is from a muggle family whilst his father is from a wizarding family. Voldemort's mother is from a wizarding family and his father is a muggle.

2. Both were orphans, Voldemort from birth and Harry aged 1 because of Voldemort.

3. Both were loners in their own way. Voldemort as he had others fear him and Harry as he basically had no social life as we know it.

4. Both felt that Hogwarts was their true home.

Harry hated the Dursley's house probably as much as Voldemort hated the orphanage. Both felt happy at Hogwarts and didn't like the end of each year when they had to go back.

5. They could both speak parceltongue. However Harry could only speak it due to the fact of the Horcrux residing in him, as we found out in the Deathly Hallows.

As I said, this list isn't exclusive and it goes into this better in the books.
