It could be that something happened to her before the brothers were killed -
like she could have died at the birth of the boys.
What I find interesting - in GoF chapter 5 pages 49/50 (UK) Harry meets
Charly and Bill for the first time, and JKR describes their looks. "Charlie
was built like the twins, shorter and stockier than Percy and Ron, who were
both lang and lanky" and later Bill "He was tall ..."
So it seems that the twins and Charlie take after their mother (or mothers
side of the family), whereas Ron, Percy and Bill take after their father
(tall and thin).
So what if it is not only F&G, but also Charlie who was taken "in" by Molly
and Arthur ?
In OofP, when Molly finds out about Ron being Prefect, (page 149) she says
:"you could end up benig Head Boy just like Bill and Percy ..." - and she
does not mention Charlie.  Does anybody remember if Charlie was Prefect as
well ? I only remember him being captain of Quidditch team.
