As someone pointed out earlier, Graham's wolf friend was a different wolf, as can be seen in the eyes, and was related to Graham's story in any case. That Emma also saw it, though, may be of some significance, particularly since no one else actually saw the wolf.

The kicker, though, is in Lily, when the wolf appears at just the right time to lead Emma to bump into Lily at the coffee shop. Emma even commented on the seeming coincidence of the wolf that prevented her from leaving storybrooke in the first place and the current one (which was also seen by Regina this time). And I believe it is intended to be the same wolf in both the Pilot and in Lily.

At this point, something has been set up regarding the wolf, we just don't know yet what that something is. My wishful thinking is that maybe it will relate to some way that brings Ruby back, since she is able to communicate with wolves (or at least I am assuming that). You're right. bc Ruby does understand Pongo, when we all thought Archie died, when it was Cora who made us all think she killed him, when she killed someone else. Btw, is that ever going to be confirmed who Cora killed, I know, she said she didn't know but still. A man has been missing for almost 2 yrs and noone still hasn't reported whoever Cora killed to make him look like Archie. She probably had the mans heart in her hands, I'm surprised Pongo didn't realise something was wrong with Archie, when he did realise Regina wasn't Regina, but someone else. He couldn't recognize his own master. Weird.
