Madam Pomfrey is mentioned frequently, apparently, though I wouldn't
have guessed that -- presumably because she's always there to 'clean
up', as it were, after others do things (a very typical female reactive
role).

I stongly disagree with this interpretation of Madam Pomfrey's role. She is
a nurse and as such, has a very important part in the health & welfare of
the students and staff. She does a bit more than merely "clean up."
