Orphans
Grew up in a muggle environment/didn't know they were wizards.
They were both popular
Ministry of Magic wanted them in the good and the bad way at one point or another.
Always looking for information - Tom to attain immortality, Harry's just nosy.
Gifted wizards
Ability to speak parseltongue (though, I don't know if it counts now that Harry's lost that ability)
Core of their Wand came from the same phoenix
Dark hair
Always were different then their fellow classmates even when at Hogwarts.
Connection to Hagrid - Tom framed him, Harry is friends with him
Were unpopular when they lived with muggles
Leaders
Had an enemy that wanted them dead and vice versa
A connection to slytherin house. Tom was a slytherin Harry would've, according to the hat, been able to do great things if in slytherin.
Ginny - Harry married her, Tom possessed her
They both opened the chamber of secrets at their time at Hogwarts
A prophesy about both of them that says one has to kill the other
Half-bloods - One pureblood parent, one muggle/muggleborn parent
Had a common ancestor - Peverell Brothers.
Both did great things. Voldemort - Evil but great, Harry - he got rid of Voldy, how much greater can one get
Have had experience with the dark arts
Both have used at least one unforgivable curse
Connection to Peter Pettigrew - Voldy's servant, Harry's fathers once friend

There are bunch of others, I'm sure, but nothing else that comes to mind. Will edit if and when I find another.
