I think, like mine, your eyes may be playing tricks on you when it comes to the front subframe central jack point. There's upward curvature in the subframe there by design.
Every time I look at my dad's car I think it looks bent, but it's not. Perfectly normal. This effect can be magnified by the front splash panel which IS flat.
I know the subframe doesn't bend because there's so little clearance between its upper surface and the bend in the downpipe/catalytic converter. If the frame were really bending the two parts would make contact and an unholy racket would result.
As you probably already know, don't try to jack the car up by the rear axle! I just stick with the factory jack points back there, and live with a little bending of the points.
