So Regina wanting Snow's head for years is not just an anger issue about a spilled secret? Even the show itself laughs at this joke. ("Sympathy for the De Vil" ; "Swan Song")

And nope, he surely didn't show any regret about his father. No tears, no mention about him.

He may not have cared about what he did to his father, but he certainly cared about what he did to Baelfire, Ariel, and Ursula. Besides, unlike Regina, Hook never sought redemption in search of a reward. He redeemed himself purely out of the sake of being good. Furthermore, Regina's feud against Snow was delusional, not merely angry; Hook has never been delusional.
