They lost memories because of Zelena's intervention?

But if the WW had not added that potion they should forget everything as well, shouldn't they?

That's just part of the incosistencies that keep popping up... But to be fair, the specifics of the original curse were vague at best as to what it could accomplish. We know it could affect memories, either by removing them and/or implanting false ones. We know that caster could give the victims any life he/she wanted them to have, like being mayor or a schoolteacher or a nun, etc. The caster could put little caveats into the curse as well, like with Rumple's "pleases" to make Regina do things. It seems Regina and Snow could have set up this new curse in a much better way to give them much more of an advantage. Why didn't Snow put in the same thing Regina/Rumple had so that Zelena had to do anything Snow told her to if Snow just said "please"?
