Okay, but I have the German "original"[1] version from 1905, and it, 
just like any other ones I've seen, do say that the queen is the most 
beautiful:

"Frau Königin, ihr seid die Schönste hier,
aber Schneewittchen über den Bergen
bei den sieben Zwergen
ist noch tausendmal schöner als ihr."

"O Queen, you are the most beautiful here,
but Snow White [...]
is yet a thousand times more beatiful than you."

So it does use two sets :P. It might just be a language thing zo'o
