I don't have my book with but 1st year Harry didn't use the Carriage.
2nd year he used the flying car to get to Hogwarts, in 3rd year we 
would all agree he was not really paying attention to his 
suroundings. But here is the kicker, in 4th year there is no reason 
why he shouldn't have seen them unless it didn't really count if he 
was an infant with not been able to remember or understand what was 
happening.

So Harry's been able to see the thestrals happened by either the 
event of the 3rd task or seeing the memory of his mother dieing.

Don't forget Harry didn't see Quirell die, he was told by Dumbledore, 
he also didn't see James die as he was in a different room.
