He told Juliette she is more then he will ever be. (before it was even established she was super powerful) .He also explained that zauberbiest are different from hexenbiest. He could not even open the book.

We know Adalind's mom has magic. Adalind took her skeleton key. Adalind has always been able to move things. That has how she has always checked her powers. The only hexenbiest we have no evidence of magic is Frau Pech.

Sean mom can stop time and raise the dead, yet Sean shows no signs of magic. Adalind  does not even come close to that, why would her child have more power then Elizabeth's child.

If we consider what Adalind did could have an effect. Why would the increase abilities when both times her potions where to eliminate abilities. Diana had the Contaminatio Ritual which  was to restore. Juliette had Elizabeth potion to restore. Logic would say since Adalind was reducing powers what she did would have the side effect decrease abilities. Not it have a reverse effect, while the others did not. That is logic of convience. Adalind's mother and Adalind at the begining of the show didn't have powers, because they never used them to protect themselves. Imagin you are a hexenbiest and you are being attack by a grimm, what would you do?

a) Fight with all your strength

b) decide to go easy on him/her and do not use your powers

The key doesn't necessarly has to be magic, it could have been a tool, or it could have magical properties of it's own, given by whoever made it (it could have been as old as the hat). And if you assume that magic obtained by different rituals (not just the contaminatio) you'ld end up with 2 possibilities:

a) once the ritual is done your spawn also gets powers, and in this case sean doesn't have them because his mother did it after she had to ran away to have something to protect herself and sean, and kelly would defintely have powers

b) the ritual doesn't affect the offspring in which elizabeth could have do the ritual at any time, kelly wouln't have powers and diana has them because she was already there when the ritual was being made, developing inside Adalind (the same way women shouldn't drink during a pregnancy because it would affect the baby, but if women drink before getting pregnant doesn't matter)

I have no idea what the last part means, english is my second language, can you explain it?
