(It's appearance in Prisoner of Azkaban is non-canon in all cases. But it is still a possibility that she did not think about a mummy)

''[[LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4]]'' rectifies this by giving Parvati the correct boggart, and passing the cobra over to her sister [[Padma Patil]]. The reason that Parvati was given a cobra can be explained by the fact that Parvati possibly did not think about the mummy. It was explained by Harry, when Professor Lupin thought that Harry's boggart would turn out as Lord Voldemort, that Harry did think about Voldemort but then remembered the night on the [[Hogwarts Express]] and the [[Dementor]]. It is possible that Parvati had survived an event involving a cobra.

Snake

Padma Patil's Boggart, a cobra, her greatest fear

A cobra is a venomous snake, that when disturbed rear up and spread their neck in a hood in a characteristic threat display. Huge, poisonous cobras could be found at the zoo in Surrey.[1] In the 1992–1993 school year in the Duelling Club, Draco Malfoy used the Snake Summons Spell against Harry Potter and conjured a cobra.[2] Padma Patil's boggart manifested one of these snakes.
