Ok, I don't have my books right now, but I believe this to be true (with some
help from the movie).
Actually, the *real* reason Harry's scar hurts is because Professor Quirrell's
back is to Harry as he talks to Snape. Of course, no one picks up on this the
first time they read PS/SS, because we're led to believe Snape is evil. This is
exactly what happens in the first movie (Snape stares, we also see the back of
Quirrell's turban, scar hurts). So the pain is really caused by Voldemort's
presence under the turban. Maybe Voldemort wasn't under the turban yet, so
I apologize for not having canon to back me up. Please correct me if I'm
wrong!
