I think that the whole "the boy will be your undoing" is because he will do something to get rid of his undoing.

For example, if Mr. Gold hurts Henry, then Neal wouldn't even want to get close to him. So, Henry would have been his unoing in some way. What I don't understand is the fact that Mr. Gold seems to think he can just "get rid" of the prophecy, while it was proved that you can't escape from your destiny, even tho prophecies aren't always what you think the first time you hear them.
