It’s Snow’s character to be too forgiving. You always see when she’s with David that he’s usually the more rash one of the two.

In 3x12, Snow saw a vulnerable Regina and decided to have her live together in Snow’s Family Palace. Regina showed that she didn’t expect such treatment, but Snow had a few reasons to do so.

1. She’d want her eye on Regina.

2. Snow saw this as a path to redemption for Regina, or at least a hard time for her and didn’t want Regina to slip back into Evil Queen.

Yeah, Snow goes a bit far compared to everyone else, but that’s who she is. Basically, that meek, pushover called Mary Margaret was always apart of Snow. Their cursed selves are their worst parts highlighted.

So, Snow’s part within Regina’s arc was fine; however, I could easily see the case that David or someone a bit more strict would have been more beneficial. (It’s been shown that Snow pretty much puts everyone at risk keeping Regina around in Cricket Game.)
