-After 28 years of the curse, and some more of any unaccounted years, after being tricked by Dr. Whale into making her believe he was not able to bring him back--Dr. Whale did not ask for a spare heart, which (pre-Evil) Regina had access to hundreds from Cora's collection. Instead he 'tricked' her, he pretended to do "something more powerful than magic" to bring Daniel back, I repeat PRETENDED to bring him back. He kept the heart meant for Daniel to save his own brother, and may I remind you with the evident direction from Rumple! Who could participate in such a fraud/scheme to provide high hopes to return someone's love back from the dead--to take something that they SELFISHLY needed, knowing the resource they are pretending to help has HUNDREDS of hearts to pick from. Why take the one heart meant for this sole purpose, instead of giving Regina the chance to know why he wanted another of her mother's Hearts so she could just give him his own???

Fraud, selfish, theft, scheme, lack of remorse or empathy... what is that except a bad person?

-Jefferson didn't mean to leave Grace. Regina made him feel bad about being poor then trapped him in Wonderland.

Which Regina? I don't believe innocent Regina did that... the way I see it, Jefferson was a part of making Regina evil, and his fate of leaving Grace was his direct fault for making Regina evil. He could have "whistleblew" or called out Whale of his intentions. In fact it's Jefferson that initiated the meeting between her and this "Wizard", providing false hopes because he KNEW they would defraud her.

If I were Regina and knew the truth (from the past), I would do everything in my power to get rid of Whale, Jefferson and Rumple. (Although she sort of already got even with Rumple, when she locked Belle up for 28 years). Forget about Snow, she needs to go after the Wizard...
