Magic is a part of FTL and Emma is a product of True love the most powerful form of magic so its only natural she would have some magical affinity. Besides he took a diffrent aproach with Emma (granted he was near death) by telling her she had to think about the people she wanted to protect. I think his experience with Belle has changed his views slightly has before he tolled Cora and Regina to draw on their hatred and that was before he met Belle. While he dose still use rage with his magic you have to remember his magic has changed since it returned. In episode 4 when he saved Belle in the mines his magic was blue in colour rather than the sickly greeny blue it was in the past.
