This is an interesting theory and it will be exciting to find out if it's true. I have my own theory about Cozy's past, which is different than yours.
I detailed it here:

Agreed. For all we know, her parents may have simply sent her to the school of friendship because they no longer wanted her. Perhaps her parents loved her other siblings and grew to despise her because she was different than her brothers and sisters. Maybe they just couldn't handle a filly that didn't fall in line with what they wanted. To be honest, I could see her having a very sad backstory. Oh and thanks for the watch!

Yep. I saw on Biggest Jim's twitter he alluded to Cozy being an orphan which would make sense I guess as orphaned children, ecspecially highly intelligent ones can be more prone to psychological issues. I feel if we are ever lucky enough to get Cozy's back story it might be the most messed up yet.

I have the same feeling when it comes to Cozy. I think that if she winds up getting used and then cast aside by Tirek and is mentored by Starlight, she will definitely be headed in the right direction. Perhaps if she ever was to share her history the way Starlight did, well at least talk about it, we could discover why she went down the path she did because a filly isn't going to just go communicating with the most evil villain of them all for the fun of it....nor is a filly going to go wanting to suck Equestrian magic dry for the fun of it either.

That's what I imagine. Cozy will try and fail to manipulate Tirek only to be used by him herself. Shell hopefully finally see the light and Starlight can mentor her in friendship like Twilight did her.

Cozy is my precious crazy child and I shan't give up on her!
