Plus even in the early books, there is so much there that would go over the younger readers' heads that more mature ones would pick up on.
Yes, that's what I've noticed as well. And that's also part of why I like the series. Harry gets older and gets more adult. And so does the story. From a light-hearted book it evolves into a a much more sinister one (but still with lots of rays of light). And also the friendship between Ron and Hermione is something that you can see happing all around you.
