So I know there are a ton of people VERY upset that Celestia and Luna would send a filly to Tartarus. Even with how evil she was and how much damage she very nearly did. That said, I have had a theory about Cozy Glow I'm shocked never came about on the show that makes it all right.
Cozy Glow isn't a filly.
She is a grown mare.
Cozy Glow has Hypopituitarism, which causes people to not grow properly and can cause some to look like children. Cozy, in my mind, is older than Twilight and merely acts like a little filly to get her way. She learned early on that she could manipulate others with her filly-like looks to get her way. No need to work, no need to buy what she wanted... a few tears, big eyes, and she gets what she wants.
In fact this has all but been admitted by the show staff, as seen in this tweet
So rest easy. Cozy Glow isn't a child... she's just a middle age mare that hung out with children and manipulated them and oh no I've made it worse.
Oh wow, Baby Doll was one of the inspirations?

And it makes a ton more sense when you find that out, doesn't it?
The only thing I can think of as to why they never went through route and officially revealed it is 1) It makes a villain use her handicap to perform an evil scheme and 2) It makes the villain pretend to be a child and hang around little ones which is NOT a good idea.
I am willing to bet they planned to reveal she was an adult but got cold feet and just kept her a kid.
That would also explain something that I'm spoiler tagging.
Last chance
We know from the leaks that both Cozy and Pinkie get Discord's powers. For Pinkie she just gets turned into a giant. Cozy... becomes not only a giant but an adult mare. Keep in mind that she can become an alicorn with the power but remains a child... but Discord's powers, which function on deep desires seemingly, as seen with Pinkie, make her look like an adult. Just like with Baby Doll and the mirror.

Are those Season 9 finale spoilers? If so, it might be a good idea to mark them as such. It's usually a good idea to at least say what the spoilers are in reference to, since you don't know if it's something you know or not until you, you know, look at them.

This isn't season 9 spoilers. I would have spoiler tagged them if they were
I was thinking the girl form cats don't dance
