Sorry for sound condescending, but I actually do know my stuff about it. What i'm saying here is as close to the known fact as I can. Killing her stepdaughter is vain and cruel, but it takes more than that to be PE. Her reason was less petty than it might sounds. The Disney's version of Snow What was pure soul, but we have no way to know whether the original Snow White had a royal cunning side or not. When an insecure old woman have a younger political rival, her insecurities and jealousy will make her a monster. Plus, Lady Tremaine did a lot worse. Lady Tremaine tortured Cinderella to no end for sadism alone, and also cut her own birth daughters' feet to fit them into a glass shoe. She did worse and still not pure evil.

On a side note: I'm not sure everything either of the canon fairytales tells us is what actually happened. If you like, I can expand about it on private.
