She's the cold-hearted (HA!) witch who threw her away. Plus, they never said the big bad wouldn't be related to the Charmings. They only said that the Frozen characters (Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Hans) wouldn't be when people were still thinking Elsa would be a villain.

While the Snow Queen claims to be Elsa and Anna's maternal aunt (that could be true, it could also be false), we don't know who she might be related to in turn. (For example, if she was Emma's adopted mother, she would be related to Emma in a very weak way, but Elsa and Anna wouldn't be.)
