Interesting thought that the Sorcerer or the Apprentice is Lily's Father.

If it goes that route, I think it would more likely be the Apprentice.

First, look at how close the Apprentice was to Maleficent when Snow and Charming were in the Infinite forest.

Next, the Star birthmark and Moon Necklace, nice bit of foreshadowing, and the Apprentice could easily have put the necklace in with Lily when he performed the magic.

Third, his reaction towards the Author afterwards, he was furious. Surely he knew of the Author's manipulations, and surely he was not the first author to take a couple of liberties with that power. It almost seemed as if the manipulation was very Personal, and not just against some random child.

Fourth. The Apprentice took the time to journey to the LWM (perhaps risking the wrath of the Sorcerer) in order to talk to Lily. That looks exactly like something a father would do.

Fifth going back to the Sorcerer to try and undo the spell. At first the conversation just seemed to be of a concerned apprentice, but rewatching the scene and thinking that the Apprentice is the father changes some of way that the more subtle hints are dropped.

Ok, I am probably overthinking this (on steroids), but there you have it.
