    Ii was reading a fanfic the other day, and there was a scene where Bob starts talking while Murphy is in the room. She acts as though it's nothing. So, I thought about that... and realised I can't think of a canonical instance of Murphy and Bob ever meeting. Does Harry just keep Bob away from women? Butters and Thomas and Michael know him, but I don't think Murphy and Molly have met him.
    Have I missed a story?

    I'm pretty neither Molly nor Murphy have ever met Bob. They've seen the skull, but never seen it talk or light up.

    Murphy and Bob met in one of the short stories. She reacts as you might expect when confronted by a talking skull.

    Molly has not met Bob because Harry does not yet trust her enough to let her have access to all the magical knowledge that Bob has.

    Didn't Molly meet Bob in the 'Harry's Day Off' short story? I'm pretty sure she did, because I remember her whining that she'd be fine in the lab by herself, Bob is watching her.

    She went in the lab, but Bob stayed inanimate, I think.

    Butters, Susan, Thomas, Mouse, Michael, Cowl, Kumori and Elaine (unsure if she's aware Harry possesses it) area all that know of him from the main books.
