Can I file my little brother as a dependent?

A little background, my little brother is a full-time college student that makes no income. My first question is whether I can claim my brother as a dependent even though my parents also claim him as a dependent. My second question is, how will it impact my tax return if I claim him as a dependent and indicate my contributions as an expense?
