Personality and traitsMadam Pomfrey was described by her students as being exceptionally kind, but even more so strict.[4] She was very obsessive, lining up the sweet boxes belonging to her patients in neat rows, and was intensely worried about all of the students under her care, believing even feasts to be risky.[4] Indeed, she never asked questions about how her patients received their ailments or questioning the sometimes ludicrous stories they told her, but instead immediately set to fixing them up.[10]
