The previous answer is correct except for one thing:
Favorite's soul never took over Angel's body. Favorite butchered Angel and ate his heart, then disposed of the remains and went on his merry way.
The point was to "spiritually" disguise himself as Angel (taking his soul) and thus cheat Satan out of his own soul (not sure how, but that's as far as the explanation goes).
But he only gained his memories, which were the ones that emerged when he recovered from the hospital, thus fooling himself into thinking he was Angel.
His real original memories don't emerge until after the final confrontation with Satan. -

At the end Satan says both guys names. My theory is Satan knew what JF was up 2 the whole time so he guided JF 2 a soul that was already his. If HA was an orphan, familial ties wouldn't be a problem. Angel being a loner and the surgery would fool any friends he did have. All Satan did then was wait and watch until Epiphany was old enuff 2 join the party.
There can be only one. -

Harry Angel always looked like that.They showed a pic of Johnny and he looked nothing like Harry.Even if he had surgery and didn't look the same,which I'm not sure of, he would still be Harold Angel to himself and the ppl he knew

We never see Harry Angel properly, we only see Johnny Favourite's body (post facial reconstruction and briefly pre - in an old photo), so the OP is right to find it odd that he could pick up Angel's NY life with a wholly different bod. His friends and family would be freaked out when he rocked up at thanksgiving.

Well, they'd have to believe that a man who looks nor sounds anything like their son/brother/uncle Harry - is in fact Harry. The disfigured in the war story and same soul/memories might convince some people, but it's a stretch

Perhaps based on him covering his tracks (by killing all those people), he unconsciously knew he wasn't Harold. So he didn't bother to try and live his life, and instead just used the details to begin a 'new' life.
It all depends on the idea of if he had a split personality, or if he unconsciously killed them (almost like sleep walking) then blacked out the memories because they were so disturbing.
It's certainly very ironic that he should choose to become a PI. Again if that was done unconsciously, it might even be a dark joke and middle finger to the Devil - as he is being paid to find people who have gone missing.
That would also make the Devil using his services to make him find himself all the more mocking and twisted. -

That's "subconsciously". Anyway, suppose the real Angel had no surviving family members or had been on a missing person's list since New Years Eve 1943.
When he's told about "Johnny Favorite", he doesn't act worried like he's been caught, but he got a bit of a shiver when he saw the fans going before the interview started.
