If Cora approved Regina and Daniel's relationship, none of this would have happened. Regina will not hate snow white, will not cast the dark curse, or be evil.

Honestly, given her personality, and how easily she turned and turned back to vengeance, I'm betting something else would have happened in her life to make her the way she is, even if Cora and Rumplestiltskin didn't pull the strings the way they did.
