there is at least one direct sourse pointing at the reason for Madoka's behaviour, that being Junko's words in episode 6. Seriously, what other causes to need? She's a kind-hearted girl, willing to help everyone but not considering herself too helpful (nonetheless, she's in charge of taking people to the nurse's office and I suspect she volunteered for that). And her actions in the whole series are pretty believable to me. I've seen passive characters in anime, but oddly enough, Madoka never gave me such an impression - even before episode 3 where her character starts sketching up.
