The first two sound like normal winter growth patterns. The "teeth down the
sides of the petioles near the traps" is something that I have also seen and
comes and goes on the plants. I wouldn't say that it is "rare" for them to
get the jagged edges on the upper edges of the leaves either.

My guess is that they will revert to "normal" growth with propper care, but
pick a few up for the fun of it. What do you have to loose? Can you ever
have too many CP?
Take care & keep on growing,
