Fics and sexism, random complaint.

Why is it so often "my father is a powerful wizard" and so rarely "my mother is a powerful witch"? Why is it so widely assumed that Gryffindor was the Headmaster at the time? Why are Quidditch captains and commentators so repetetively male?

For the record, I always assumed that Rowena Ravenclaw was the Headmistress at tbe time of the Founding, since the school would need someone smart, organised and efficient to get it on its feet.

Thank you. Myself, I thought it would be Hufflepuff.
