Bleh that just sounds off. If anything, she'd be 'Headmaster'; that flows much better.

The Hogwarts letters are signed as "Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress" though.

Oh, I wasn't referring to it being accurate. Just more to how it flows when you say it. It just sounds weird to my ears. '-master McGonagall' just seems to roll out better.

In Britain it's headmaster for men, headmistress for women. Headmaster doesn't fit with the world that Hogwarts is based in (seeing as it's based on a slightly archaic version of the British school system).

I wasn't referring to it being accurate. It just sounds weird to my ears. I went to a school with a headmistress; I'm aware it's a thing.

It could be up to the Headmaster or Headmistress in question what they are called. Just because Dumbledore preferred to be "Professor Dumbledore", doesn't mean that McGonagall would follow in his example.

I could've swore she was actually called Headmistress at some point in the books, though. (Not just on the Hogwarts letter.)

Yes, I remember that Madame Pomfrey (I think) once spluttered "Headmistress!" though I can't remember the context of the line.

Well, she seems less laissez faire than him.

If not exactly a stickler for all rules, she always struck me as someone who had a certain sense of decorum. Anyway, just because they didn't refer to him as Headmaster, it doesn't mean they can't call her Headmistress.

Actually, Snape always called Dumbledore "Headmaster" in front of students. And apparently so did Hagrid on occasion.

Came here to say exactly this.

I once had a boss who asked us to call him by his first name, my next boss didn't. how ooc!

Isn't Professor a title unrelated to headmastery?
