Voldemort - Jafar?

No: HPFGUIDX 47948

OK, this is a bit stupid, but here goes.

In GoF Voldemort is described as tall, thin, with abnormally long fingers, white skin, with slits for nostrils and red eyes. Doesn't that kind of resemble Jafar in "Aladdin?" I think that the only 2 differences are that Jafar does not have red eyes but instead has a really big nose. 

This bothers me for this reason: Jafar is a classic, even fairy-tale villain, he doesn't have *any* positive traits (well, he is rather smart, but he's still very unappealing). JKR doesn't strike me as the type of writer who would have such one-sided characters. So why the resemblance? Maybe it's just an accident?

OTOH, in spite of these similarities, I never imagined LV looking like Jafar, and I still don't.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
