Addalind went after Aunt Marie too but she died. Apart from the Nick connection, Juliette could have easily remained off Adalind's radar. Adalind had nothing personal against Juliette, the individual, except to use her as a tool to hurt Nick and Sean as much as she could. I'm not saying Adalind didn't harm Juliette, I'm merely pointing out the context thereof. It wasn't about Juliette but about the men that Adalind felt had harmed her and getting back at them. I get what you''re saying. Adalind's angry and she feels Nick and Sean are responsible for the loss of her powers. However, it's not the fault of either of these two men. It's Adalind's own shortsightedness that caused her downfall. That's not a reason for attacking Juliette. '' No one has a right to harm another, Adalind was a villain (at the time) and doing villain things by targeting innocent people even in her bid to "punish" those that hurt her. Sean bears some responsibility for what happened to Adalind. Nick though, was just being a grimm and had to save Hank's life but that didn't stop Adalind irrationally targeting him through his girlfriend. Think of how Hexenbiest Juliette and Kenneth eliminated Nick's neighbours to trap Kelly, innocents are always collateral for villains.

Adalind was basically following his orders and in the process lost her abilities then instead of understanding, he abandoned her and insulted her. I don't blame her going after him. Juliette is collateral, if not her it would have been someone else. That is how Adalind figured she'd do the most harm by binding him in a deadly obssession spell with the girlfriend of the grimm he was trying to recruit to his side. It could only end horribly, with either Juliette killing him or Nick, lucky for him he sold Adalind further down the river by laying blame for everything that happened since the beginning of the show on her shoulders and aligning himself with the gang for Nick to eventually broke the spell.
