Oops, I totally missed this. As Maggie explained to Richard, to her, he is just her genetic history. She doesn't consider him family. It's different for her regarding Ellis and now Meredith too. She was curious who her mother was and after a very long way to find out it's Ellis, she changed her whole life, moving to Seattle and taking a job at GSMH. So Ellis plays a significant role in her life, also proven by the fact that she's eager to get to know more about Ellis. She's letting Meredith into her life as her sister, as some guide to figuring out Ellis. So there's a relationship too, although it's babysteps.
