Its hard to parallel because Faust was supposed to be redeemed at the end, which Homura can only parallel if she saves Madoka, but after that Madoka would than make a wish to save Homura if she was to be Gretchen. But that would mean Homura would ultimately fail...

Which is, ultimately, why I don't think an analysis of Faust will help much. If by any chance the ending of the series has any moments that seem like overt references to Faust, then I won't be surprised, but that is likely to be the extent of it. Besides, while there is room to say this series is something of a modern re-imagining of Faust, this series also stands perfectly on its own without that distinction. Putting too much faith in that connection probably won't yield much.
