Atticus had noticed her there and purposefully taught her a life lesson without Scout even realizing it. Atticus is also loving as well as a good role model.

For example, Atticus caught Jem, Dill, and Scout attempting to stick the note into Boo’s house through the loose shutter with a fishing pole. Instead of yelling and whipping them like most parents would have done, he spoke in a calm voice and explained to them that Boo deserves to be left alone if that’s what he wishes.
