Yeah, I think I agree with this. They'll almost certainly read the books again when they're older, and pick up on a lot of new things then. Then they'll probably come running to you all excited and you can dump more of the fannish knowledge that isn't in the books on them!
Also, um, I never realized that thing about Harry's class being unusually small. I did realize that there was a huge mismatch between the size of Harry's class (not that many, however many it was) and the stated size of Hogwarts (1000 students?! impossible!). I just figured that J.K. Rowling was bad at math or something, I guess. Was it ever explicitly stated that other classes were significantly larger than Harry's? If it was, I totally missed it.
