Why is she called "Madam"?

I've been wondering why Madam Hooch isn't called "Professor"? Professor McGonagall is a teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Madam Pomfrey is kind of a school doctor, and that's why, I suppose, she has a bit different position from those of other teachers. But, why is Madam Hooch, who has her own class, is called "Madam" instead of "Professor" by everyone? Is it because she is an instructor to teach how to play Quidditch? I'm very curious about it.

I've been still wavering over whether I can buy Harry Potter audio books because they are pretty expensive. Last night, while surfing on the Net to get the details about the differences between British versions and American ones, I found a site that was full of useful information I wanted to have. After comparing them, I should say I prefer British versions. The reader, Stephen Fry, was fantastic. His British accent was quite attractive to my ears. If only I can afford it!

How do the teachers get to Hogwarts?
I've been rereading the Harry Potter books. While reading the third book, a question popped up in my head.
"How do the teachers get to Hogwarts School?"
The Hogwarts Express was usually reserved for students and they had never seen an adult there before, except for the witch who pushed the food trolley.
In the third book, Professor Lupin got the train and helped Harry escape from being attacked by horrible creatures: Dementors. Anyone could feel Dementors, J.K.Rowling said. When you get depressed or feel feeble for no reason, they might be hanging around or standing behind you! I don't want them to drain my happiness and hope! When it comes to Professor Lupin, by the way, why did he get the Hogwarts train despite the fact that teachers rarely use it? Did he know what would happen to Harry in the train beforehand? Umm...
Hedwig is a male owl?
I went to a zoo with my children yesterday. During wandering around, my daughter called me over and asked me in a loud voice, "Mom, isn't Hedwig a female owl?" Hedwig is an owl in the Harry Potter books, and this large snowy owl must be a female owl because there are descriptions in the story. However, we happened to find a sign in front of a cage of owls. It said...
Male owls are snowy, but female ones are dapple.
...Is it true? If it's true, that is, Hedwig, whose feathers are completely snowy, must be a male owl. There might be some differences between owls in Muggle world and those in Harry's world, but for now I don't have the right answer for my daughter's question...

Where do they live? from Harry Potter
Another question has just popped up in my head and I'm writing about this here, but please don't read this journal more if you haven't finished the last edition of Harry Potter books yet because I'm giving away one of hidden secrets....
Okay, let me ask you.
Where do Harry and Ginny live after getting married?
I've just read an article saying that they must live in the Burrow, but I'm a bit skeptical about it. Could be, but what do you think?
