" The show has thus far been very inconsistent about the level of detail the curse memories had. Graham and Mary Margaret don't seem to know each other well and can't remember when they met; on the other hand, David— who spent almost the entirety of the curse IN A COMA —remembers reading  Alice in Wonderland  as a child, and thus far we've seen none of the severe holes that I'd expect to see if the curse really was that vague (i.e., everyone in Storybrooke appears to have a fully functioning memory of childhood education and, in the case of Archie and the staff of the hospital, medical school)."

Randomly wanna point out something about that: MM and Graham have a history pre-Curse. Them "remembering" meeting each other could be dangerous. (In a stirring-up trouble for Regina kind of way") Another example: David and MM live in the same town. When David wakes up, nothing is said by either about how they "knew" each other "pre-coma". This kind of memory would be dangerous. (Besides, if she had a memory of him, she could one day wonder what happened to him)

Of course, what they do and don't "remember" serves the plot or whatever joke is being made by a character.
