In 7x10, magic was shown to work retroactively. Henry Sr. was the thing Regina loved the most back in 1x02. But not anymore. Now Henry Mills is the person she loves the most.

In 5x05, magic didn't work  retroactively. Regina couldn't use a tear of her pain about Daniel's death, because her feelings changed. She healed from that pain.

So, as I see it, they changed the logic on how magic and emotions work together Well, perhaps Regina still really, really loves her father. (After all, you can have more than one true love at any given time).
