Wasn't it just that Rumple needed the tears from someone tempted by darkness but who managed to avoid it? Doesn't necessarily have to be Anna. Could very easily just be Henry, really. He had the chance to alter whatever he wanted with the magical properties of the quill (which could have catastrophic results), but he chose to snap it. Tested, passed. See? That's a long stretch though. :p
