Sorry, but I cannot keep up with who said what on these threads.

I agree that there's unconscious sexism about JKR's female characters. 
Whoever said that we "fill in" information about McGonagall because 
she's typecast was absolutely correct. 

Also sterotypically, the most interesting female characters may be the 
evil ones -- Delores Umbridge, Bellatrix Lestrange (although I hate 
the fact that the movie casters have played into ANOTHER female 
stereotype by making Bellatrix young, evil and sexy because it flies 
in the face of canon...!).
