Claudia and her phone was always something I wondered about- if her parents were so strict then why would they allow her to have her own line? But I've always liked the headcanon that her parents were totally aware of the hidden junk food and Nancy Drew books and just let her think she was being sneaky.
I think Claudia and Stacey seeing Mary Anne and Kristy as being "younger" was definitely sort of a setup for the big fight in #4. The later books did sometimes seem to paint Kristy as being immature because she wasn't interested in makeup or boys.
I liked the Kristy and Claudia bonding too. I always felt like Claudia and Mary Anne were the only two who could really call out Kristy for stuff and not get a Look in return.
