That's a good point. I've always tended to see the role of the savior as extending past the original curse. Emma keeps lamenting that for the savior, she hasn't been doing much saving. That's probably why I'm so dubious about it. However, what you pointed out pretty much precludes anyone else being the savior, unless blue didn't know about the switch. In that case, maybe Emma just ended up breaking the curse anyway, even though she wasn't the intended savior. She had a lot of people encouraging her to take on that role. Maybe instead of being something that was destined, it was a role that anyone could be guided into. This has support in the fact that Pinnocio had to go with her to make sure that she did her job.
