Well I guess its up to the sensitivity of the audience as I mentioned.
Alot of the comparisons here only have one or two actual similarity, same hair colour, same hair style for example. We can't even factor in face shape, because everyone has 'similar' sharp chins, or big eyes and dot noses. 'Similar' in open inverted commas because actually to me, even the sharp chins are very different, the angle of the chin and height of cheeks can affect a character's maturity and personality.
But even so, just a single difference or change in appearance can affect alot. If Haruhi had thick eyebrows, Kyon has long hair, Mikuru is taller than Kyon, Yuki has pink hair and Itsuki is bald, the dynamics of the entire story would change.
