Madam Pomfrey is neither young, nor old, but she's experienced. It makes me wonder whether she was the Matron when the Marauders were in school?
What do you guys think?

I think she was. I seem to remember Remus mentions crossing the grounds with her on the way to the Whomping Willow when Snape follows him and is saved by James. Does anyone else remember this? I don't have my books with me at the moment or I'd look it up.
I always liked Madam Pomfrey =) She's just so sweet.

I do think I remember that Fate, but I'm too lazy to go check. I always pictured Madame Pomfrey as young when during the Marauder Era and not like elderly but definitely getting up there during the Potter Era.

I always pictured her being about sixty during Harry's time so about fifty when James and the crew got up to their crazy. There is an entire headcannon I have of Pomfrey having had a very rocky career as a Healer at St. Mungo's as one of the first women healers and she was bullied out by her male colleagues. Dumbledore offered her the job at Hogwarts.

I always think of her as a rookie nurse in her 30s during the Marauders time...this may be very inaccurate but I always picture James and Sirius playfully flirting with her. *leshrug*

I've always wondered why Hogwarts just has a Nurse and not a healer? Not that she isn't great
