Madame Pomfrey Query

Do you suppose Madame Pomfrey is under special instruction from 
Dumbledore not to question the students when they come to her with a 
strange/suspicious ailment?

 I was recently re-reading Chamber of Secrets where Hermione messes 
up her Polyjuice potion and accidently turns herself into a cat 
instead of Millicent Bulstrode. She has to spend quite a lot of time 
in the hospital ward as a result, nearly a month, iirc, and I am 
wondering if Madame Pomfrey simply did not recognise this as the 
results of the Polyjuice potion gone wrong, or if she has been told 
by Dumbledore simply to treat the condition and not to reprimand 
students for getting into trouble/mixing potions they should not have 
been. Surely Madame Pomfrey would have had to recognise that it was 
Polyjuice potion in order to treat it effectively?
