In regards to Regina's belligerent behavior towards Emma, I think you're all forgetting one thing: Regina is an adoptive mother who just found out that her kid ran away from home to find his biological mother. Of course she's acting belligerent! Whether she remembers who Emma really is or not is irrelevant. This is the woman who might take your kid from you. I'm adopted and I will never know who my biological parents are which is fine. I know that while my mother would never go to the ends that Regina did to get rid of Emma, if my biological mother just showed up on our doorstep one day, it would kind of make my mom uncomfortable. So yeah, I don't think the behavior is inconsistent. Regina would naturally feel threatened by Emma just because of the relationship she has with Henry. She just happens react to the threat by trying to destroy it, but that's just how Regina is.
