The scar is actually an open wound. So long as the piece of Voldemort's soul is in Harry's body, the scar will act as a conduit between Harry's and Voldemort's minds and emotions. As Voldemort gets stronger, the connection between them becomes deeper.
Page 394 in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban refers to Professor Snape telling the class to turn to that page in their Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) textbook, which is about werewolves, a deliberate hint that the substitute teacher, Professor Lupin, is one himself, a secret Snape was trying to expose.
