Also, I think Regina does have repercussions from what she's done. For example, her treatment of Hansel and Gretel seems a little out of place at first. Why does she want to have 2 kids in the castle? Then there is Owen, who she invited (with his dad) to live in Storybrooke. and Finally Henry, who she adopted. Only when Mother aired (in season 4) do we see some of the motive behind her actions, how she screwed herself over, and has to face the consequences of that action.

In the Evil Queen, while disguised as Wilma, she comes face to face with the consequences of her actions. She murdered an entire village, and Snow called her on it. Granted, at the time it led to her embracing the "Evil Queen", but still I would not call that instance as "glossing over". The only thing that did not happen is that Snow did not release the arrow aimed at Regina. And that speaks more of Snow's moral compass than Regina's.

Does Emma know about what Regina did to Graham? Probably. Henry told Emma that Regina killed him, but Emma was still in her walls up unbelief phase (this was back in season 1). What I'd like to see in S5 with Dark Swan is maybe Emma holding Regina accountable for that.

I hope that the writers do remember some of these issues, and eventually address them.
