Add to that the fact that she tried to have her brother killed (for virtually no reason), killed the Spring Maiden in cold blood, and was perfectly content leaving her daughter to possibly die, and it becomes clear that she's a villain.

Not so much evil as adopting a philosophy that is viewed by most people as severely flawed. I can point to example after example in both fiction and real life were the “weak” in fact lived and the “strong” died. Even Salem commented that there’s no victory in strength.
