'' So, she still a hair better in that department than Regina (and Regina is my favorite character and even I see that). ''

No, Snow White is not better in that department than Regina. The latter has expressed remorse, if not regret for her actions. She doesn't regret those actions that led her to Henry. But she has expressed remorse. And yes, the two are different. Regina doesn't feel any disappointment that her actions led to Henry, but she has expressed remorse or guilt. . . which would explain her occasional bursts of self-sacrifice on behalf of the town. Actions that I have found increasingly annoying.

The real person who is has consistently failed to express remorse is Emma. She has expressed regret for bringing Marian (I'm sorry . . . I mean Zelena) from the past Enchanted Forest to Storybrook, but she has never contemplated the consequences of her action. She never contemplates the consequences of any of her actions. Even when she committed all those petty crimes in order expose Regina as corrupt back in Season 1, she refused to admit that she had committed some crimes. Instead, she called herself "lowering to Regina's leve", when all she was doing was sinking to her own level - actions similar to her own past.
