The 'look like the scientist that raised him' bit appears to be a reference to being a brown haired Caucasian with slicked-back hair. Odo's 'Madame Tussauds in a heat wave' look is clearly not part of looking like Pol. It could be some kind of default form (perhaps to signal their godhood to Jem'Hadar and the like) that Odo stumbles into. It could also just be what's easiest. It could also be that Odo is 'bad with faces' in that he, personally, is not satisfied with the results and so would rather stick with something obviously not an attempt at realism. Really what they needed to do was give Salome Jens' character a different hairstyle when not interacting with Odo, and that would have about covered it.It certainly is interesting to think about. Star Trek in general doesn't do as much with age as it could -- possibly for the best.It was certainly in the era of 'we could do that with CGI... you sure you don't want any guest speaking roles this episode?' I just noticed recently that some of the shots of Galaxy class ships in DS9 still have attachment points for the third nacelle they added for All Good Things... because they modded the actual ship model. Easy to forget how much of that was practical.</blockquote>
