And why Cora wanted to destroy her legacy. What if... Cora made sure Eva would become so good and try to set that up for her daughter. And then Cora enacted her plot in the episode The Queen is Dead and despite that Snow did not become corrupted, Cora still was determined to ruin her. Basically hoping that she would turn Snow's heart black as coal. In my fan fic, she succeeds at that.
