Sure, but once Regina started to reedem herself, all she got was a couple of hugs every now and then. A bit too little for someone who's taken care of you all your life.

Henry's real problem, imo, is that he has never outgrown his mere plot device status. He's there to set the story in motion. Need to bring Emma to Storybrooke? Henry. Need her to start a feud with Regina? Henry. Need her to believe in the curse? Henry. Need the Charmings to save Regina at cost of sending Emma and Mary Margaret to the Enchanted Forest? Henry. Need Regina to start rediming herself? Henry. Need to give Rumple a new storyline after he finds his son? Henry. Need Cora to turn Regina back to evil? Henry. Need to take everybody to Neverland? Henry.

Okay, he's serving his purpose, but as a character he's useless. He hasn't done a single good – or by that matter interesting – thing by himself except bossing around and giving unappliable moral advice. Even when he tried, it turned out to be much ado about nothing (see Wendy in last week's episode). He really needs to develop into something, otherwise he'll keep on getting more and more annoying. (the following is a crackpot theory said in the tone of a squeeling annoying tone) OMG what if Henry is actually the big bad? He is the one that set everything in motion with Emma? How else did Malcom Pan get a drawing of Henry, with that much detail mind you. Also did anyone else notice that his heart looked black when he pulled it out from his own chest? Yes there was a glowing gold light around it but it looked just as black as Regina's. And also when Emma was giving birth to him the lights went crazy as if a rather powerful surge happened, yet nobody in the room seemed to care. I honestly don't know where I am going with this but it would be a shocking and bizzare twist that Henry was the mastermind behind all of this so he could be the hero. (super crackpot theroy ended sorry guys that youy had to deal with that.)

Okay now that all of that BS is out of the way I do have a few things to say reguarding Henry. He is just a quest giver in an MMO, nothing more and sadly that's all he will ever be.
