I can definitely see the similarities - it has less to do with the appearance and more to do with his role in the story. Pendergast is already basically College Hogwarts, and he seems very Voldemort-y just like Andisimon and Diva said. Even the MC shares some similarities to Harry Potter - both being raised ignorant of magic being real, both have physical defining marks (Harry with his scar, MC with their sun-shaped birthmark), and both are set up as being "the chosen one" in their own way. Hell I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out that there's an epic prophecy about the MC somewhere down the road.
