And unfortunately, in a serial you can't go back and change these things if you realize that you needed to foreshadow them a few chapters back.

I don't think that's how Eliezer treats it. The reference to the centaur forecasting that giving Petunia the beauty portion will end the world, that's in the first chapter wasn't there at the start but was added later.

I can appreciate the need to do this, but at the same time it makes me wonder if my memory of previous chapters accurately reflects their actual content. I rely largely on the podcast for my review, so I am only as updated as it is.

If I remember right the podcast didn't contain the reference to the centaur in chapter 1.
