Let's not read any more into this 'scar connection' between Harry and
Voldemort than is actually there.

They can share immediate strong emotion, and they can visualize
real-time event occurring to the other person when those event have
some emotional content behind them.

There is no indication that I can recall that would lead us to believe
that they can search through each other's thoughts and memories 'data
mining' for information the way you would search a Pensieve.

True Voldemort realizing that Harry was sensing his desires and seeing
the events related to those desires, knew that he could inject or
re-enforce those feelings to make Harrry feel them more strongly and
see them more clearly, and even went so far as to create a desire that
was so strong that he was able to inject false information (Sirius
being torture) into those visions. But I really done see any evidence
of either one of them being able to scan the general thoughts and
memories of each other.

The best Voldemort could do is put himself into Harry's mind in a way
that would allow him to view real-time events, such as a meeting of
the Order. But no actual mind reading.

Just a thought.
