 Henry was the mastermind behind all of this so he could be the hero

Only if his future villain self went back in past to set everything in motion, but I highly doubt it. I read a theory where all of this is actually happening in Henry's head so that's why everone from Rumple, through Evil Queen, Snow White, and others to Peter Pan is related to him. Or, my take on that theory is that all of this is happening in Emma's head while she's sleeping in the prison after her car crash in the Pilot. But this theory would work only if this was a movie.
