More likable? Nealfire is adorable :P And I'm not sure using more magic would make him more likable. He saw how much his father changed since he started using magic. He went from being a normal man to being the Dark One. I think Neal would be scared the same thing could happen to him.

And personally, I don't like the idea of Hook and Emma that much and I don't see it as a love triangle. At least not for a while. Emma just admitted to herself and to Neal that she loves him. As for Hook, I'm not sure she even likes him as a person yet. Hopefully, Neal will get back to her before that starts to change.
