Since they're not really an iteration of those characters, I say we should not consider them. Emma is based on the Ugly Duckling, so no, she is not an original character. Henry is more of a grey area, though, since he is an allusion to Cinderella's prince, but not directly based on him. Actually, I read somewhere that she's more connected to Swan Lake.

Have you read her article? Emma is based on the ugly duckling; her only connection to Swan Lake is her identity as the Dark Swan. It's all in the intro, and the trivia section.
