I agree, and it's interesting that as Harry's girlfriend people took
it as a given that Ginny knew if he had a tattoo on his naked chest or
not. Yes, there is a more than just snogging going on at Hogwarts, in
fact the book is positively drenched in sex and I can prove it with
examples:

There was no need to stick the wand in that hard,' he  said gruffly,
clambering to his feet. 'It hurt.' (p 64)

A hole opened in the middle of all the tentacle like branches;
Hermione plunged her arm bravely into this hole, which closed like a
trap around her elbow; Harry and Ron tugged and wrenched at the vines,
forcing the hole to open again... (p 281)

Lupin burst out laughing. 'Sometimes you remind me a lot of James. He
called it my 'furry little problem'... (p 335)

'I dunno,' said Harry. 'Maybe it's better when you do it yourself, I
didn't enjoy it much when Dumbledore took me along for the ride.'
(p 355)

'You see?' Dumbledore said quietly, holding his wand a little higher.
Harry saw a fissure in the cliff into which dark water was swirling.
'You will not object to getting a little wet?' 'No,' said Harry. 'Then
take off your Invisibility Cloak... and let us take the plunge.'
(p556)
