I am a persona fan of the Shor is Dragonborn thoery, and what I am about to say CAN fit within it, yet it is said directly in the game by 'Heros of Sovngarde' that Shor's mein is too bright for mortal eyes to see.

In a more simple fashion, you either cannot see Shor in his chair because a mortal remains within Sovngarde, which would be you. And of course you cannot see him any other time before the Dragonborn cannot be IN Sovngarde at the same time.

On the other hand, if Shor manifested himself either at the birth of the Dragonborn or the time the Dragonborn was discovered, it would eliminate Shor's manifestation from Sovngarde altogether when his own manifestion is present, or is alive at all.
