Eustace_Scrubb:
I hope that agreeing isn't interpreted as being a "me-too" post, but I
think the two factors you mention probably explain the lack of pain
from Harry's scar.  (I just re-read that chapter last night and
Harry's anger with Memory!Tom slowly grew, but there was no searing
pain in his head.)

In PS/SS LV was really present, though as VaporMort.  In CoS, even the
nearly reconstituted Tom Riddle was never more than a memory of the
pre-LV Tom--who (possible Time-Turning aside) had neither affected nor
been affected by Harry Potter.
