Emma,

First rule to remember when analyzing Harry Potter is POV.  The 
books, except for the opening chapter of HP1 and HP2 are told 
entirely from Harry's POV.  How many boys of Harry's age really 
notice females?

If memory serves correctly, there were a number of Ministry witches 
involved in the woods under the Death Mark.  I do not have my book 
with me, but I do remember at least one witch.

You also have several professional witches outside of Hogwarts. 
Madame Rosmerta owner and operator of "The Three Broomsticks" is 
one.  Rita Skeeter is another.  Madame Malkin owner and operator 
of "Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions" is a third.  So is the 
proprietor of the "Magical Menagerie."

So I think there are a lot of career opportunities for witches, 
including homemaker.
