between him and me

WinterMember

(1)I think there's a huge difference between him and me.

Why we always put the 'me' after 'him'?Can we change the order?

Can we use 'myself' in stead of 'me'?

While in another case :

(2)He was worried that the connection between himself and Voldemort had been damaged.

Why here 'himself ' is put ahead of 'Voldermort'?

It is just a matter of style, not grammar. Many people would see that 1 sounds more polite. I wouldn't use 'myself' in your example above.
