For me the most interesting part is to have the same bone structure on both. I always had issues picturing Voldemort being formerly attractive, but this one makes sense

Isn't he described as handsome? Pretty sure the Hufflepuff descendant whose name I couldn't spell to save my life said/thought so?

Anyway, I imagine to be a charismatic leader you have to have some ammount of handsomness - until you trade it for power and fear that is.

He's described as handsome when he's young, but his description when he comes back in GoF just seems too monstruous. I always had issues with the snake like nose for instance

I assume this is before that and before maybe one or two horcruxes. It's the soul-splitting that made him more monstrous (red eyes and all). He had to look his normal handsome (maybe somenof his features already being sharper though maybe? Don't remember) at least when applying to Hogwarts.
