Now, I agree that the combination of being forced to be a dragon for 28 years, after Regina bested her and threatened her pet Unicorn, combined with the beating she took from Emma, combined with whatever turned her into that wraith/spectre like thing in 2.20 (or was it .2.21) that Hook outsmarted, may be just enough to drive her back to craze Evil. We'll see. It's estimated on this wiki that the Wonderland episode featuring Maleficent takes place long before Snow's Curse (IDK how, since there's nothing to tie that in...) and she seems very non-evil. So it's safe to say that Maleficent just had a vendetta against Aurora and her mom and was just chill with everyone else.
