I am not sure there is a certain origin for this specific combination. All three characters draw from typical archetypes/stereotypes, and I guess that this specific composition feels the most balanced.

You can learn more about these typical archetypes in this very interesting undergraduate thesis about Harry Potter:

Sörensen, J. (2013). Archetypes and Stereotypes in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series. BA. University of Gothenburg.

The research can be applied to many of the trios you are referring to.
