Using my racking cane I siphoned most of my pale ale into the primary fermenter but I dumped the last bit in. This is ok isn't it? I thought that If there's a time to aereate it's at this point.
I do the same thing but my siphoning is to help aerate the wort with a tube with holes. Something that I found on this forum, and has worked rather well. But the stuff left in the kettle I just dump into the fermenter. So like said above, it's not a problem.
Hops and big trub chunks get strained out. If it is a hoppy brew I might stop half way through and empty the strainer.
Holey tube? Sounds good. Think I will do a search on this. Or maybe I will post a new thread so I don't have to do any work.

I was hoping that maybe you had a secret for straining out the pellet hops gunk.
There is. Bag your kettle hops, then Whirlpool, then carefully siphon from the kettle with a nylon mesh bag wrapped around the actual auto-siphon into a bucket with another nylon mesh bag wrapped around the opening.
