From what I've read they were very different from the beginning with him being quite "popular" with both other kids and staff while incarcerated, very clever, cheerful, amiable and disarming. There are actually strong indications of some sort of sociopathy in that, and I've seen it suggested that it's very likely the kidnap and murder was instigated by him and Venables was susceptible to influence and actually less aware of what he was actually doing (potential learning disabilities). Venables on the other hand shows clear indications of being permanently traumatised and affected (hence reoffending).
