I never really had that hatred for Henry most seem to have. Or at least Jared. The only problem I had was some of the writing choices. It sort of made him seem like a brat, but I couldn't blame him for being quite so.

Henry early on was quite plot devicey and less of a character. He was the vehicle for Emma to break the curse and for Regina's redemption, but he didn't really get a voice until the later seasons. I actually would love some more episodes like the finale where Henry actuall does things pretty much on his own. He rarely get an insight on his character, but now it seems like we are getting that.

Henry can't die without Emma and Regina exploding and also it would just be too cruel to them as characters and those of the family dynamic to have Henry the one that brung them all together to die.
