Like you, I really treasure the fact that Magrat comes into her own so much here. She's still in some ways a silly, silly woman - but even a silly person can kick butt when what she loves is threatened. And she has a right to be silly, if that's how she's comfortable - I love that she remains truly Magrat.
Pratchett really likes the name Agnes. I think that one of the little would-be queen-bee witch girls in A Hat Full of Sky is really named Agnes. And there's Agnes Nutter in Good Omens.
(And as mentioned above, Agnes Nitt stars in Maskerade and Carpe Jugulum, but I don't think you've read either yet.)
