When you think about it: Emma shouldn't be the only one with powers. She broke the curse because her parent's love is the way to break the curse and she was a product of it.

Other than that they have said: "Of the truest love" which is how they describe Snow and Charming love. I guess no one's love is stronger or comparable to theirs. But then you wonder why would Baby Neal would be ordinary? They are the same product of true love. I guess Emma has powers because Truest of Love gives special powers, ordinary true love doesn't.

Or my alternate theory: The writers didn't think this all the way through.
