I still think that Elizabeth did it on purpose, making Juliette into a hexenbiest. Perhaps she didn't intend for it to be a permanent thing...that it would wear off in time. I don't know. But think about it...Adalind was a hexenbiest when she took the potion and slept with Nick, which took his powers away. That's three things, three elements that caused Nick to lose his powers. Elizabeth had a mission...to reverse that spell and make Nick a Grimm again. She said "To beat a hexenbiest like Adalind, you need a hexenbiest like me." I think Elizabeth realized that for the reverse-spell to work...Juliette had to be a hexenbiest too. If Juliette were not a hexenbiest, then it would've only been two of the three elements. How could that work? Everyone thinks it is a 'side effect' because they've never heard of someone being turned into a Hexenbiest without going through the Contaminatio Ritualis. So they think it has to be 'a fluke'. But we don't know, because Elizabeth left town. No one can ask her "Hey, what the hell did you do?" We don't know what Elizabeth does for a living, to make money. We know that she has money, because she bought that nice house for Renard. Renard mentioned one time, that when he was a boy & they were living in Russia, that people would come to his house for potions, from his mother. [in the 'Red Menace' episode] She has been on the run since Renard was born, so she can't exactly hold down a 'regular job'. So maybe Elizabeth has made her money by performing powerful magiks for hire. Who knows what someone might pay for becoming a hexenbiest...probably a lot.
