I didn't though of that!!! Of course it could have been Sirius's 
boggart, although that does not mean that it could have also trun 
into HArry as Molly's boggart. After all Molly has said that loves 
him as a son.

But it could easily be that Charlie was not shown because Molly was 
not afraid of him dying. I mean, the boggart not always show the same 
thing, if HArry would not have meet the dementors in PoA, his boggar 
will become LV; so the boggart changes because whatever the 
characters are afraid of also change. Charlie was in Rumania while 
the rest of the family was in England, where LV is so probably Molly 
is not afraid of Charlie's dying because it seems something unlikely 
to happen.
