Back in Season 4, In Juliets episode from "The Other Woman", Harper Stanhope mentioned that she "looked just like Her".
Now we are far in to season 5, and with the introduction of Juliet in to Benjamin Linus' childhood, it looks more and more likely that the woman Harper was referring to could may well just be Juliet herself.
There are more ramifications to this theory than first meets the eye.
First of all, if Ben did not recognise her when he and the Others recruited her, then it raises serious questions as to how many of the other Left Behinders he remembers in the future. If he doesn't remember Juliet, would he remember Sawyer? Sayid? Jack? Even if he would remember one of them, surely he would piece things together and realise Juliet and the others were in the past as well.
However, if he does remember these people, then maybe his infatuation with Juliet was caused by Juliet herself. Maybe in the 70s, Juliet saw the horrific way that Roger Linus was treating Ben, and although Juliet "dislikes" Ben in the future, she may have felt sorry for young Ben and possibly had become a mother figure for him in the past. This links to the edipus complex (love your mother, kill your father).
Either way, this raises many more questions, (hey it is Lost after all!)
