Well, I have just read OoP to my 6 yr old, and so long as you talk 
through the more distressing scenes it's not a problem. The parts 
that adults will find nastiest tend to go right over the heads of 
children who are too young to deal with them. Maybe Lily was only in 
her early 20s when she had Harry - but I was 23 when I had my first, 
so I can't see anything morally wrong with that.
