Maybe Maleficent lied, when she told Lily that she didn't know who her father was? Perhaps Maleficent and Lily's father had some sort of huge falling out, and would rather spare Lily from finding out who he is? Which would mean that perhaps Lily's conception didn't happen in dragon form after all. That would be an interesting twist. And that means that almost anyone can be Lily's father. It wpuldn't in a degree because the notion on all shows is "Assume the truth". How is this show going about with "Assume a lie"? Well, it's not through convincing storytelling but "retcon"/ Shamalyan levels of "What a Twist".

People lie on OUAT quite a bit, actually. Remember when Granny told Red that her mother was killed by hunters, but she was actually still alive? Remember when Rumple told Baelfire that his mother was dead, but she really had left them? Remmeber when Cora said that Lancelot was dead, and he wasn't? Just saying. XD.
