The reason Homura wanted to save Madoka is properly developed in episode 10, but Madoka's reasons for wanting to help people is just glossed over and never developed. And she's the freaking main character, so her motivations should be extremely clear so we can related to her properly. As it is, it seems Madoka's strong desire to help others is just a trait given to her by default, to make the story work, and while that's pretty common in other shows of the genre, I feel Madoka should have been above such plot conveniences.

It isn't as if it goes completely undeveloped. Quite a lot of attention is given to Madoka's apparent inferiority complex, and while that doesn't fully explain the zeal with which she approaches helping people, it does provide some explanation. It isn't a fully satisfying explanation, but it's still leaps and bounds above the common trope of helping others, "Just 'cause."
