Pg 521, English edition, Chapter 30: The Pensieve
harry speaking: "Then he did the Cruciatus curse on Wormtail - and my 
scar hurt," said Harry.  "It woke me up, it hurt so badly."
<snip>
"I see," said Dumbledore quietly. "I see. Now, has your scar hurt at 
any other time this year, excepting the time it woke you up over the 
summer?"
"No, I - how did you know it wokeme up over the summer? said Harry, 
astonished.
"You are not Sirius' only correspondent," said Dumbledore.
<snip>
"I have a theory, no more than that... It is my belief that your scar 
hurts both when Lord Voldemort is near you, and when he is felling a 
particularly stong surge of hatred."

Does that answer your question?
BTW: Does anyone find it strange that Dumbledore calls Voldemort: 
Lord Voldemort, instead of just Voldemort - It is a honourary term in 
his case, after all, and I would have thought that Dumbledore would 
have been one of the last people to use it.  Any thoughts?
