I'm thinking about it in terms of her becoming a witch. For example, when Sayaka became a witch, she said:
"She just ended up bearing a curse as powerful as her wish. She will now live cursing as many people as she had saved."
Considering that, if Homura does become a witch, then it stands to reason she would be the witch that brings Madoka's downfall.

I just can't think Madaka's witch form being a Mountain Spectre is coincidence. Homura being Walpurgis also fits thematically.
If it's just misdirection, then so be it. I'm not afraid of being wrong you know.

Well, they later changed Walpurgis design, and the new one, as you can see, doesn't resemble Sayaka's outfit as much as the original. I think they realized they unintentional made it too similar to Sayaka, which led to a lot of confusion.
