As far as Main character status is concerned Emma is no more a main character then Henry, Regina, or Rumple and the Charmings. She is also only one of the many protagonist on the show even by season 1 standards. The central protagaonist of Once is Emma though. The first episode shows how she came to be and why she is important. Lost also had a large ensemble cast, but Jack Shepard was always the central protaganist, as similarly to Emma, the first and last episodes focus on him (I'm sure the last episode of Once will focus on Emma).
