That's a little bit speculation. Henry should not have magic because Emma has magic. No one said that it depends on genetics, and the magic gene passes down to descendants. Magic is genetic ergo why Regina and Zelena were born with it. Same with Lily. Just as Rumple was able to pass magic down to Gideon thanks to being the dark one, Emma should be able to do the same thing. That is like saying just because Zelena was a witch her daughter shouldn't be a witch. Magic is genetic. Also Henry has the Heart of the Truest believer which would grant him magic the same way it would have granted Pan magic.

It is a fact Henry has magic. Rather he choses to develop that magic or not is another thing though.
