Great question!  I've only read a few fantasy series (mostly a horror and 
sci-fi buff), but I am reminded of the "Wheel of Time" series by Robert 
Jordan.  It's been a while, but in that series, IIRC, males drew upon a 
different power source that females for their magic.  Saidin and Saidar, I 
think they were called?  But they were like a ying-yang.  Two sides of the 
same coin.  JKR may have something like that in mind.  Or it could be that 
when you think of a "wizard" you picture a male (like Merlin), and "witch" is 
associated with females, even though there are male witches.  Maybe she 
should of just called it Hogwarts School of Sorcery--you can be a sorcerer or 
a sorceress.  ;)
