Mmm, except no. I don't even think that they represent things either. Her thinking process as demonstrated by the leaky chat transcription is that she hasn't got a clue what she's doing, and her stories function at neither the symbolical / structural level nor the characterisation level.
If Harry is the Hero, then why does he resort to the Unforgivables? Why is Marrietta's treachery to be punished with Sneak forever, but Dumbledore's by nothing at all.
I think it's more accurate to say that she writes stories that verge on stereotype, occasionally managed to hit archetype, and that only with characters she doesn't really care about, and she hasn't got a bloody clue what she's doing.
She can't make up her mind whether Snape is a hero or not.
