Really, that is a tough question. This arc has REALLY blurred the lines between Heroes and Villians (Kudos to the writing team for that one).

However, arguments can be made that any one of the characters is an antagonist, and that there is not reallhy a protagonist. The closest thing to a protagonist is Regina (and even she has her moments). Emma is falling to Anti-Hero status at the moment, and Mal has actually climbed a bit out of the "Mistress of all Evil" category.

Even David and Mary Margaret have been acting more like antagonists than protagonists.
