From my family, I'd say that it would make sense for Snow's daughter not to have as dark of hair as her if the father is Charming. My mother has very dark black/brown hair, and my dad has dark blond hair. I, and two out of my three siblings have dark blonde hair. One has medium brown, but not as dark as my mom's. This pattern continues in my maternal extended family. Everyone on that side had black/brown hair, from aunts and uncles, to grandparents, to great grandparents. Then my mom and all her siblings married dark blondes/blonds. This resulted in a ratio of about 5:4:2 for dark blonde, medium brown, and lighter blonde hair. No black/ brown. So, the gene that codes for the pigment that makes hair really dark- black eumelanin- must be very recessive.
