I've recently begun reading the Harry Potter series, but having already seen the movies I know more about the plot than any first time reader really should, and this has caused me to notice a few odd things. As far as I'm aware Rowling never planned to get seven books out of this series, and yet a number of things come up in the first book that have me either suspect that Rowling got her ideas from rereading her earlier books or that they were edited back in later. For example, Philosopher's Stone has Sirius Black, Hagrid's expulsion, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, and the dragon in Gringotts, mentioned very early on, despite many of them not being of importance to that book.
Long story short, did any of the books receive any noteworthy edits after publication? I'd check an original copy against the version that I'm reading, but I don't have access to one.

No, those points were always there in the first edition, as part of the general world building.
As far as "never planned to get seven books" goes, that doesn't mean you can't have an idea of where your plot would go over the natural seven years of UK secondary education.
It's well documented that elements of the final book were already conceived at least when only four of them had been written.
Despite this, there have been minor errata published in later editions. The most well-known that comes to mind is when (minor spoilers) a missing character suddenly appears to yell at Dumbledore. Other than that, this page details various inconsistencies and notes which ones were later corrected.

A couple of changes to numbers and days of the week were made. The "deliberate error" of calling Voldemort the ancestor of Slytherin in Chamber of Secrets was also fixed.
