This is one of those characters that I felt the fan-sequel dealt with really well. To an extent that it deeply colors my rereading of the original novel, I suddenly realize now. Huh. I suspect that as a child I didn't notice any of this particularly; the Sad Fat Girl was so damn common in children's literature, as a way for the protagonist to show how good she was by liking her anyway, that she just read like a stock character to me.
