This is what I think.

"Professor": Title given to Educators that teach in classrooms.  Given 
freely to both Male and Female.

"Madam": Given to female members of staff who do not teach in 
classrooms; ie.: the Librarian and the Nurse.  I believe Madam Hooch 
is titled "Madam" is because she only seems to teach 1st year 
beginning broom flying.  The rest of the time she spends maintaining 
the school's brooms and referring Quidditch matches.

"Mrs.":  Given to married witches.

How does that sound?
