Lenore:
At least one of these has been answered in HBP, ch4 Horace Slughorn:

>55. Why did Harry;s scar hurt when he was so close to Voldy in Books
>1-5, but not in Book 6?

Scholastic, page 59:

"So tell me, Harry," said Dumbledore. "Your scar... has it been 
hurting at all?"

"No," he said, "and I've been wondering about that. I thought it 
would be burning all the time now Voldemort's getting so powerful again."

He glanced up at Dumbledore and saw that he was wearing a satisfied expression.

"I, on the other hand, thought otherwise," said Dumbledore. "Lored 
Voldemort has finally realized the dangerous access to his thoughts 
and feelings you have been enjoying. It appears that he is now 
employing Occlumency against you."
