I always got the impression the Dark One curse was like a magical parasite; giving the host great power but twisting and warping their minds to evil. Remember when Belle kissed Gold before he realised what was happening the reversion was not instant like the Dark Magic was fighting against it befrore he let it win.

Also in my experienc prophecy's have double meaning to them so mabye the Blind Witch's prophecy was talking about Henrey bringing the downfall of the Dark One rather than its current host.
