I read that she was originally meant to be an antagonist. I'm not sure if she was always going to be Hiccup's mother.
Well, since that spoiler's now out in the open...
I got the feeling her actual identity was supposed to be a much bigger deal, revealed toward the end of a movie in which she played a much greater role as co-antagonist with Drago, which was the original plan for the movie. Early trailers kinda spoiled that twist though, so I wonder how much rewriting happened as a result of that, instead of during the scriptwriting phase.
Much as I liked it, I think the original plan would've made for a smoother movie all round, really.
