OUaT's Maleficent is not pure evil, unlike Disney's Maleficent.

From the little we saw of Maleficent, we learned that there are lines even she believes should never be crossed. She called the Dark Curse a mostrosity.... this coming from the woman, who created a curse that removes a soul from its body. It was also implied that Maleficent had her heart broken, and that is what turned her evil.

To the Original Spy: your theory on OUaT revolving around Aurora and Phillip, would not work. There is not much story of the two of together, for the show to have them be central. We already know how they met, and they were seperated for years. Not to mention, Aurora never left home.

Maleficent's backstory would feature the original Sleeping Beauty, who is Aurora's mother.
