Personally, I think Kelly will be both, and will manifest in infancy, thanks to the unique combination of genes, and will therefore be made even more of a target for those who want him dead.

Kelly's a boy, and we know that boy Grimms manifest differently (i.e. typically much later) than girl Grimms, but he's also part Zauberbiest... and all we really know about Zauberbiests and Hexenbiests is that they are not the same thing (because Sean said so, but didn't elaborate). We know lots about Hexenbiests, but all we know about Zauberbiests is... well, just Sean, actually. And Sean is a) secretive, and b) only half Zauberbiest (so it's possible that he was born on the bum end of the genetic spectrum, since hybridism can go either way).

I've been thinking for about a year now, that Biests are not actually Wesen, and therefore don't follow Wesen rules. Like Grimms, I think Biests are something else entirely, because when you get right down to it, the only thing they have in common with Wesen is that they both have woge states. But even the woge states aren't like typical Wesen (they're neither animalistic, nor are they even uniform - a single Hexenbiest noticably changes from woge to woge, and apparently their woge states can be used to determine each others' health, according to that one scene between Elizabeth and Sean). I have this theory that Biests are actually more closely related to Grimms, than they are to Wesen.

(If nothing else, because they're both noticably way, way, way at the top of the food chain. Like, there's a huge gap between any Wesen, and Grimms, just like there's a huge gap between any Wesen, and Hexenbiests).

Anyway, going with the theory that Biests are more closely related to Grimms than to Wesen... again, one of the few things that we know about Grimm physiology is that gender matters, when it comes to when they manifest. Boy Grimms manifest later in life than girl Grimms - that's a fact that Kelly established in S2. And one of the few things we know about Biests in general (as opposed to Hexenbiests, specifically) is that gender matters, when it comes to abilities. It's not that difficult to speculate that gender matters when it comes to when they manifest as well. It's very possible (in the absence of any information to the contrary) that it's normal for Zauberbiests to manifest Zauberbiest abilities (whatever those are) in infancy. So maybe that overrides the Grimm tendancy for boy Grimms to not manifest until adulthood.
