MBP why no 320gb option

Yes precisely. Its says damaged caused by not the act of upgrading itself. As long as you don't not damage anything your warrantee simply isn't affected.

Yeah, but as the rest of it says, if an Apple Tech sees a hard drive inside of the machine that isn't a standard option or wasn't installed by a certified tech, then they have grounds to void the warranty.

Or should I say, "Refuse to allow you warranty service."

No they don't, again read what it says, "Problems caused by" and "Damage to the Covered Equipment caused by "

Both just cover apple from someone installing a new hard drive and sticking a screwdriver through the screen at the same time.

As long as you do no damage when upgrading and the upgrade isn't the source of the issues you are covered its as simple as that.

This is why I would recommend putting back the original HD if you need to send it in for repair. Just like you would with your old RAM.

Wouldn't it suck if they decide to replace the unit and forgot to give the HD back to you? I would think so. :)

I would do that with the hard drive since it's not user serviceable, but the RAM would be okay.

That's a good question about getting a new unit under warranty, since they only do part for part swaps, if your machine wasn't replaced yet they could easily give you a brand new Mac without the upgraded HDD that you installed yourself.
