What I don't understand though is why he is able to see the thestrals
after Cedric's death considering he did not see Cedric die either - he
had his face covered and eyes closed due to the pain in his scar. When
he opened them, Cedric was already dead.

IMHO, given JKR's comments about having to let the death sink in, I'd say 
it's very logical that Harry should see the thestrals after Cedric's death.  No, 
he didn't witness it directly - but he certainly "witnessed" it emotionally.
