number 1 its a kids show that is about friendship, magic, and loving caring ponies I thank the orphan thing is a little to dark for it.

number 2 now I believe she will fly one day but there is a possibility she won't what I'm saying is I don't thank they would add a disabled orphan in the show it seems way way WAY! to dark for a show like mlp.

plus at comiccon 2013 they said her parents are alive

tell me what your thoughts are on the matter.

3656584 agreed she has loving parents

3656588 I think she has parents that are too loving, and often unintentionally embarass her. Especially since she's an only child.

3656652 yeah probily

3656658 That explains why she doesn't talk about them very much, and why she looks up to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash is the kind of pony Scootaloo wants to be.

3656671 yeah and hopefully someday Scoots flys

3656679 Hopefully yes.

One major flaw with your reasoning: the show already has orphans: Applebloom, Applejack, and Big Mac.
