I was thinking about who Lily's father could be and then I thought of an interesting twist that the writers would not be afraid to use. What if the Apprenticed was Lily's father. This could explain a lot.

Now I know you are probably thinking I am insane, but just hear me out. The Sorcerer obviously wants Maleficent and the Snow and Charming's babies' fate intertwined, so why not turn your apprentice into a dragon and get him to make Mal pregnent to make sure she has a child. If you remember, when the Apprentice told Merlin that he put Emma's darkness into Lily, he was obviously concerned in a deeper way than his master's plan. Also, the Apprentice felt very bad about the darkness potential switch, so he told Lily. This was probably behind the back of the Sorcerer because this lead Lily on the path of wanting revenge on Emma and her parents. Would you risk your job/duty just so you could clear your conscience? Therefore, the Apprentice must be Lily's father if he has such a strong conection with her.
