I think it's important the Madam Pomfrey have a "no questions asked" kind of
policy. We have to assume that the kids at Hogwart's are going to be
experimenting with potions and charms, and even hexes upon occasion. If
Nurse asked too many questions of the students, they would then avoid
hospital and try to fix themselves or each other, which could be disastrous.
Remember Eloise Midgen who cursed off her own nose? I think it's better for
the students to know that they can trust Madam Pomfrey and get fixed up
again quickly.

I'm pretty sure that Hermione learned a good lesson from that experience and
will be much more careful in the future.
