Remember in 4x10, Henry was under a curse, so nothing he said was true (I mean, you can argue it is, but then you have to say Charming hates Snow and thinks she had an affair, so....). And as for 6x06, you're right, it's normal. He was pumped to have Hook around and wanted to play video games with him, until Hook disrupted his routine (I know he had good intentions but he overstepped his boundaries) and he lashed out. And like you said, he is a kid, and at that, a kid who has gone through massive changes in his life. I was glad to see him let off some steam and get inside that pretty little head of his in 6x06 (I have said you could just as easily argue it was a Henry centric too).

But there's a lot of moments to show that Henry loves Killian, even if he doesn't outright say it. He also seemed to have lashed out at Hook in the flashback of 7x02, I might add.
