I may not be all that good in figuring such things out, but it wasn't so evident to me at all.

In which case that got spoiled for me before I started, though I don't remember how. However, I don't think it would've been all that hard figuring that out.
I would rate this book as one in which spoilers do in fact spoil a good part of the reading experience (though I remember reading an interview with Ishiguro on the topic of the movie coming out, and he said something about not caring much if that was spoiled for his future readers).
But if you mean what Hailsham was all about then, no, I didn't figure out until the nice little scene with Tommy, Kathy and the headmistress when it was spelled out.
I meant both, I guess.

I have just discovered that I loaned the book to someone recently as well.

Might as well start with this - what did you think of Ishiguro's subtle treatment of the key issue?

Are we talking the fact that they were clones?

I find it difficult to sympathise with these characters and I wonder whether that's deliberate.

Since Chas is making me wonder... 
What did you think of the book? Like it, love it, hate it? *NM*

And I'm officially overusing the phrase "what did you think". *NM*

Crap. I hope I didn't come across as too negative, because I loved the book.

I liked it (with some exceptions)

I thought of The Island, too - same premise, very different approach.

Right. A better answer, now that I've got the book and have refreshed my memory.

Did you just compare Robert Jordan's writing style favourably to Ishiguro's?
