As I read it, it is not the looking or the thinking that makes the
scar burn but the feelings LV is having. Murderous intent, diabolical
laughter, extreme self-satisfied glee etc.; a variety of very strong,
negative emotions. 

And Harry is the one whose very strong, positive emotions damage LV in
turn. 

The MoM scene finale: 
" They were fused together, bound by pain (LV taunts DD)...And as
Harry's heart filled with emotion, (love for Sirius) the creature's
coils loosened, the pain was gone." Along with LV (for now).

Remember too that it was his mothers love that stopped LV the last
time as much as any charm she may have used to enhance it.
