1. They are both childlike. While Scout matures greatly throughout the novel, she still maintains an inquisitive nature, just likes Boo's childish curiosity (only he practices his from the shelter of his house).
2. They already "know" each other before they meet in person. Boo has observed the children and is most likely amused by their antics. He communicated with them through the knothole in the tree, and Scout knew from that point on that Boo was not evil or scary.
3. At the novel's end, Scout has learned to be tolerant and to recognize people for who they really are. When she meets Boo, she is ready to begin practicing her dad's admonition to "climb into someone else's skin and walk around in it."
