Aunt Alexandra objects to Scout inviting Walter Cunningham to their house because she sees the Cunninghams as lower-class and does not think they are suitable companions for the Finch family. She puts a lot of emphasis on social status and tries to instill these values in Scout.
Scout at first tries to convince Aunt Alexandra that Walter should stay as her friend, but Aunt Alexandra in the book appears to be prejudice of social classes and doesn't want Scout to become more of a tomboy than she already is. Afterwards, she discusses with Jem about her problem, and they both conclude that there are four types of people: the normal people, the Cunninghams, the Ewells and the Negroes. In other words, Walter can still be Scout's friend, but not under Aunt Alexandra's watchful eyes.
In Chapter 15, Scout's conversation with Walter Cunningham humanizes him and makes the mob see him as an individual rather than part of a group. This personal connection reminds the mob of Walter's humanity, leading them to disperse and abandon their violent intentions. It highlights the power of empathy and understanding in diffusing tension and promoting mutual respect.
Scout thinks Walter's eating habits are weird because he covers his food in syrup rather than eating it plain like the rest of the children. In Scout's opinion, this is unusual behavior and differs from what she is accustomed to seeing at the Finch household.

Aunt Alexandra disapproves of Scout's suggestion to invite Walter Cunningham over for dinner because she believes he is from a lower social class than the Finch family, and she wants Scout to associate with people from more similar backgrounds. She values maintaining social status and traditions in Maycomb society.
By asking Walter about school and engaging him in conversation about his studies, Scout redirects the mob's attention away from their violent intentions and helps them see Walter as an individual rather than a target. This shift in focus allows the mob to calm down and disperse peacefully.
