come we did not hear about Harry's scar hurting in DADA classes? We
know his scar hurt at the Welcoming Feast when Quirrell had his head
facing Harry. I am sure Quirrell would have turned his back to the
students at least once in a while?

Carol responds:
As you say, Harry's scar only hurt when Quirrell was facing
*backwards* and Voldemort was looking at him through the back of
Quirrell's head  (as when Quirrell was talking to Snape at the
breakfast table). It's coincidence, of course, that Snape was looking
into Harry's eyes at that very moment. (Wonder what he saw there?)

But Voldemort would have to be looking at Harry and thinking about him
with anger and hatred for Harry's scar to hurt. Possibly Voldemort saw
Harry's expression of pain that morning at breakfast, and certainly he
saw his hand go to his scar. He would be careful not to cause any such
reaction again and arouse suspicion against Quirrell.

Carol, thinking that perhaps we're not supposed to examine such
details too closely, just as we're not supposed to wonder what
happened all the other times that Lupin became ill in PoA
