Kind of. When Adalind lost her power to woge, she didn't lose her potion-mixing facility. You could think of it as a human losing their sight or hearing or sense of balance, due to some disease, and regaining it through rehabilitation and curingt he disease. It could be that Grimm blood is a poison to Hexenbiest, that would handicap them without robbing them of their second-set-of-DNA; and the rituals that Adalind went through as an antidote to that poison.

And bringing this back to Renard, it could be that he has weaker-than-normal powers (hence the limited woge and potion-making instinct) than he would have if both parents had been Hexenbiesten, but he does still have the dual-DNA thing.

Which brings us back to: what the heck does "half-Zauberbiest" mean, anyway?

And is that term in the Grimm Guide, or anywhere in official canon?
