I just had a brainwave after rewatching Lily again, since it was Zelena who killed Marian and not Regina, wouldn't that purify Regina's heart a little more? Surely it would get a tiny bit less dark for having one less murder committed by her?

Unless the change in time caused some ripple effect that led Regina to kill other people...

I feel like that could be justification for Regina leaning heavily towards being a hero now and good instincts coming a lot more naturally to her!
