HP: What's in it for the witches?

  I agree that we see things from Harry's pov and he is naturally
more concerned with spotting other boys than girls and that he tends to
assume authority is male (a hangover from the muggle world perhaps).

But most of the Ministry of Magic seem to be men, most of
Voldemort's followers likewise.  I don't know - to me it seems like 
women are either are not at the top of the system or there are just 
fewer witches around.

Jodel, thanks for the info about authors of school books - I hadn't
thought of that.
