Maleficent is not related to Henry, but she would have a vendetta against everyone. I always thought, that the dark fairy Snow White stole that fairy dust from, would be revealed as Maleficent. The dark fairy dust will be resurfacing, now that Emma and Hook are travelling back to the day her parents met. The poisoned apple will also appear, during the finale.... it all fits.
