> **その目が** ハリーを観察している。そして額の傷にじっと **注がれた** 。

The subject for the 注がれた is (その)目.

「（～に）目/視線を注ぐ」 is a set phrase to mean "to watch/look/stare (at~)".

Here it's used in the passive voice: 「目が額の傷にじっと注がれた」, literally "The eyes were
focused intently on the scar on his forehead", i.e. "(The owner of the eyes)
stared/gazed at the scar on his(=Harry's) forehead."
