And no, I don't think the characters cared more for Hook or Neal because they hardly interact in any meaningful way. What I'm saying is that with Neal there wouldn't have been a need to use the lips curse. I think Snow suddenly approving of her daughter being with a guy who sexually harassed her is OOC, something that wouldn't have happened with Neal.
