I think JK was imagining the kind of family she would have wanted to grow up in, TBH. I mean it's come out that Minerva MacGonagoll is sort of a self insert character and had her childhood (well, minus being a Halfblood witch.)

I hadn't heard that. That's interesting, and it might explain McGonagall's relative lack of importance in later books compared to earlier ones.

Why it didn't become The Adventures of Minerva MacGonagall Which Harry Was Sometimes In (though that would be cool: a re imagining of the series from her viewpoint) :D yeah. I think with a less talented/self-aware writer, that may have been what we would have ended up with - but no, I think she was just using her own experiences as a jumping off point with MacGonagall. It's very interesting.

I think it is also an example of "this character had traits which defined them as a person that we never knew about because it never came up" like with Dumbledore being gay, MacGonagall had a very religious upbringing and was very religious, but it never comes up at all in the books.
