I don't understand how this makes no sense. So Regina wanting Snow's head for years is not just an anger issue about a spilled secret? Even the show itself laughs at this joke. ("Sympathy for the De Vil" ; "Swan Song")

And nope, he surely didn't show any regret about his father. No tears, no mention about him. He may not have cared about what he did to his father, but he certainly cared about what he did to Baelfire, Ariel, and Ursula. Besides, unlike Regina, Hook never sought redemption in search of a reward. He redeemed himself purely out of the sake of being good. Furthermore, Regina's feud against Snow was delusional, not merely angry; Hook has never been delusional. I have had a fun time reading this back and forth.

Hook isn't delusional and is ususally self aware, but everything else you're saying is completely not true. You can't go around saying Hook was never evil when Hook himself shows opposite and even says he was a villain. Hook did seek reward thru redemption---that reward was Emma. Of course, it changed from changing for Emma to a slightly more nobler act, but it didn't start out that way.

Regina's feud aginst Snow wasn't delusional, it was projection, especially on someone far weaker. Regina could easily blame Snow, more than she could lame her abusive mother whom she loved.
