"It is only after Harry tells him that Voldemort touched his,
Harry's, face, that Dumbledore's face takes on this expression.
Voldemort was, consequently, happy that touching Harry's face does
not harm him. What he fails to realize, however, is that Harry is
left unharmed as well. Harry does feel pain, but his head is
already aching from the scar, and the scar gives Harry pain whenever
Voldemort experiences emotion, the intensity of the pain varying
with the intensity of the emotion."
GoF, pg 566 (Can edition)
" Harry felt the cold tip of the long white finger touch him, and thought his head would burst with the pain."
While Harry wasn't 'harmed'...he didn't die, his eyes didn't pop out, his head didn't burst, it sounds to me more than just residual pain from the other times the scar had hurt during that cemetery scene. JMO.
