And given how easily he remembered David's dad once he saw the picture from the book, I'd have to assume that Killian has a reasonably good sense of recall, and would likely not forget Snow and David without magical interference. I just rewatched some of the clips, from when Emma and Mary Margaret first meet Hook. While, on the surface it looked like they did not know each other, it is actually fairly ambiguous. While, it is definitely a retcon.... the writers probably felt the audience would assume, Marry Margaret and Hook were lying to the others, about their past.
