Harry Potter attained his lightning bolt scar when he was 1 year old. When Voldemort came to kill Harry (because of the prophecy "neither can live while the other survives"), Harry's mother, Lily Potter (formerly Lily Evans) refused to stand aside and gave her life to save her son. Because of her sacrifice, Voldemort's curse backfired, leaving Harry with only his famous lightning shaped scar.

When Harry Potter comes back to life in hp7 does he have a scar?

Yes, when Harry comes back to life (although he wasn't dead - he was just in an 'in between'), he still has his scar. The part of Voldemort within him was gone, but that part wasn't his scar, per say. Voldemort just used the scar to channel himself in Harry. Once Harry comes back to life, then, the scar is basically useless, but it's still there.
