3B ended cursed Henry and Hook's hangout time (which I don't really count), same time CS started to rise. Flashes of Henry not liking Hook, teaming up with Hook amongst great CS flourishment. Outside of meta-ness of the writers focusing on romance more and more, it was a disservice. I'm no Hook and Emma fan, but I'm sure those fans would love that.

Henry is like 12ish and he's in all his mother's relationships but never with either male figure to a decent degree. If I had to guess, Emma's scenes are largely populated by those with Hook (who's slowly stealing Henry's role) and Regina. Hook's are primarily with Emma. Henry's probably in more enseble scenes than anything else. Where is it shown that Henry dislikes Hook? He said in 4x04 that he knows Hook makes Emma happy and we know from 4a that they go out sailing together.

I think the 6x06 was more of a reaction to his family changing than Hook specifically but by the end he came back for him.

And just on the point of cursed!person and someone else, I think that for a cursed person to be drawn to and want to be with a person they have no memory of (unless they were magically forced to be with them) they have to have some underlying, unknown affection for them. Like in s1, I got the vibe that MM somehow was drawn to Emma because she loved her when she was Snow. If that makes sense
