It's not plausible, and I don't see the show going in that direction. I certainly hope it's not future Henry, too. People wishing that OUaT would finally get rid of Jared Gilmore, perhaps? I actually think that Jared's acting as Peter Pan was really good! And I like Henry, too.. ^This.

Jared did a great job as Peter, and seeing that convinced me of what I've been theorizing for a while-it's not Jared, but the writers.

In Season One, Henry had all these little quips and such that made him who he is, that made him an enjoyable character. The beginning of Season 2 was the same, like when David went out on his own and left Henry at the top of the stairs, and he goes, "But, c'mon, I helped..! Agh!" and his hands go all desperate and such and then he walks back inside. These little quips made Henry unique as a character because that's how little kids are-they're still in that phase where they want to believe everything's magical and special, and imagine what Henry would be like, finding out that it was all true and being the grandson of freaking none other than SNOW WHITE and PRINCE CHARMING. He was his own character. The writers made sure of that.

I've seen though, in Season 3, that they seem to have taken this away from Henry. They turned him into literally just a walking plot device. It sucks, I agree, and I want that gone, too. But I don't think it's Jared, Jared's doing his best with what he's got. I think it's the writers not giving Henry (Jared) any "Henry" to work with to make and be Henry.
