In chapter 36, when Harry's family goes over to the Granger's for Christmas,

She got to the front door just as her daughter came clattering frantically down the stairs at a speed that didn't look safe at all, Hermione had claimed that witches were more resistant to falls but Roberta wasn't quite sure she believed that -

I'm fairly certain there are other instances as well, but I can't seem to find any more.

My vote is on reflexive use of magic, rather than a physiological difference.
