Maybe she did. IIRC Molly didn't explicitly say that Arthur wasn't 
there as well. She naturally remembered most vividly the scolding she 
got. 
Or, maybe the Fat Lady was harder on her than on Arthur bc she was a 
girl? You know, the way teachers (incuding female teachers!) 
discriminate, often without meaning to, against girls. I must say, 
though, that if she was like that then, she must have changed, bc 
she's not like that now, as far as I recall. ;-)
