I think I tend to agree with Jenny here.  I don't think we're going 
to see graphic Harlequin novel-esque scenes in any of the HP books 
and if that's what an individual is looking for, look for a 
slash/fanfic that contains that.

Exactly!  They don't spell out sexual innuendos in Disney films 
either (well, unless you see sex spelt out in the dust in The Lion 
King), but we all know they are there.  They are practically urban 
legends!  And as adults, we see them.  Children, being innocent, 
don't read as much into things and tend to miss them or not fully 
comprehend the meaning.  I think this is how JKR spans such a wide 
audience, she understands this and uses it to her advantage.
