This theory doesn't seem so far-fetched if you think about it. Rumple was told by the seer that the boy would be his undoing and then he was granted the ability to see into the future. He could have seen Henry and made a sketch, and then run Neverland from the Enchanted Forest via a third party, such as the shadow. The only thing wrong is why he wouldn't have the lost boys looking for Bae, but maybe he cared more about getting rid of Henry.
