It would explain why Tremaine has all these connections to the Rapunzel story and why she has the Witch locked up. It also works with the theory of the Witch being the mastermind behind the curse.  The issue is Hook knows Tremaine. Hook appears to be saving Rapunzel as well. I'd think he'd know if Tremaine was involved and who he created his daughter with.
