Hermione's transformation.  However, I can see that she's able to turn the
other cheek.  These kids come in with injuries or mishaps from who knows
what.  I'm pretty sure at one point she just stopped asking why they did it
and just treated them, sometimes it's just better to not know why.

Me:
Madam Pomphrey might have another reason to not ask too many questions. If
she becomes known as a snitch who will report you for doing something
illicit then students may stop coming to her when they have accidents. The
consequences of students trying to treat themselves could be worse than a
policy of not asking more than neccessary to treat the injury.
