How can Hermione Ron Neville and Ginny see the thestrals and fly on them if they haven't seen death?

Just because they can't see them doesn't mean they can't fly on them. They don't see them yet, but will be able to later on. It explained in the book that they could hear them coming up, but could not see them. They needed the help of those who could see them to get mounted up. Neville could see the thestrals he had seen his grandfather die. It was Ginny, Hermione, and Ron who coudn't see them.

Did Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom kiss in the last Harry Potter movie?

Why doesn't Harry Potter see thestrals earlier?

Harry Potter sees the thestrals after the death of Cedric Diggory.He didn't see them before because when his mum was killed he was too young to understand what had happened and nobody else was killed in front of him (he has already passed out by the time Quirrel died).Rowling considered putting them in at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but decided to wait until Harry had accepted Cedric's death so the book was not left with an unsolved mystery.

Why couldn't Harry Potter see Thestrals through books 1-4 even though he had seen his mother die?

Not everyone becomes a ghost. And for this reason not all of those that have died in Harry Potter can be seen as ghosts. In fact none of the characters that the reader sees die actually become ghosts.
