I think JKR is just perpetuating the stereotype that all witches and
wizards have long crooked noses. If I recall correctly even Ron had a
long nose.

If you think about fairy tale respresentations of witches, whether
graphic/artistic or written, they usually have long crooked noses. So,
I think JKR used this a common characteristic typically associated
with this kind of people.

Just a thought.
