  During Harry's first year at Hogwarts, when Voldemort was sharing
  Quirrell's body, hiding at the back of his head under the turban, how
  come we did not hear about Harry's scar hurting in DADA classes?

Ronin: 
  In my opinion, it was just because Lord Voldemort was very weak. Being in that loathsome form he was forced to exist in, as well as the struggle to control his host, I would expect that he was not very strong at all. In later books, such as in OotP for example, The Dark Lord had returned to full life, but still only affected Harry's scar when he was experiencing great emotions. As his strength grew, so did his ability to effect Harry and try to guide him to gain the orb.
  That is my guess.  It may also be that Harry was not in tune with his own magical senses yet, as a first year student who grew up with Muggles.
  I believe that everything is worth a second thought in the Harry Potter universe. JKR doesn't seem to write anything lightly and when we think something is trivial, it ends up being significant in one of the later volumes.

  Cheers,
  Ronin
