She let her father treat Regina like she didn't even exist half the time, and she said nothing when he locked Regina up in her own bedroom. Snow never once stuck up for Regina and let her father know that what he was doing wasn't ok, especially since if that were to come from Snow's mouth, he'd listen. I think she did. We know how Snow is. In "The Evil Queen", she even says she was always on Regina's side, but Regina never saw that. I at first took that to mean that Regina refused to forgive and see that Snow loved her, but maybe it means that she fought for Regina behind-the-scenes with Leopold. We have to remember that this is a man whose heart was crushed (figuratively!) by Cora, and now he's married to her daughter. He probably only saw Cora when he looked at Regina and treated her accordingly. I don't think anything Snow said to him would've made a difference.

We just haven't seen enough of Leopold to gauge how he would've treated Regina. He cameo'd in one scene of "The Stable Boy" and then his other two featured episodes were focused on Regina and Cora instead. But for sure, he was not a good husband.
