I read a theory a while ago that said Regina and Maleficent were actually sisters separated at birth, like James and David, and while I really liked that Idea, I've got an new theory. What if Maleficent was actually once a fairy, like in the original tale, who fell in love with Aurora's father. The Blue Fairy, realizes this and has him fall in love with Aurora's mother. When Maleficent finds out what the Blue Fairy has done, she renounces her wings and swears eternal vengence on the woman who stole the heart of the man she loved. To accomplish this she seeks out Regina, now in training by Rumple, and asks to learn the ways of the Dark One. Regina, knowing the pain she feels at love taken from her for no reason, agrees and the two become friends and learn the dark ways together. But when Rumple says to Regina that they must stop being friends, that their love is weakness, Regina rips Maleficent's heart out and sends her away. Now Maleficent must wait until Charming hides the true love potion inside her to be able to feel again. This also gives credence to the reason why the two were still (semi)polite to one another and how Regina was able to change Maleficent into her dragon form when the curse hit.
