As for Henry, in my humble opinion he doesn't look at Regina as his mom, I think he looks at her as a mother figure. Kinda like knowing a childhood friend mother, some people grow very close to their friends mother, some even call the mother mom. They clearly love each other very much but Henry is more so involved in a mother/son relationship with Emma than with Regina. I don't think their blond will at all be altered because Regina has another child. I kinda think Rowland will become more of a son to Regina than Henry. I respect your opinion, but I totally disagree. Regina feels more like a mother to Henry than Roland would be a son to Regina.

Henry spend years with Regina and will always think of her as his mom. Even if she was a bit strict and a bit crazy, he still loved her as his mom. This is seen throughout season 2 and everywhere.

Emma takes more of a big sister type role than anything else. She only really had the opportunity to actually be a mother to Henry during the missing year. He sees both as his moms and that's said countless times.

Regina will always think of Henry as her son, since she soothed every fever, changed every diaper, etc. She raised him and taught him and nurtured him for many years. Roland is a guy's child from a previous marriage and his wife died by the hands of a Mills women.....seems familiar? Roland will simply be Snow version 2, but gone right. I'm not saying that Henry  isn't Regina son because like you said she took care of him for basically all his life but after season 1 and on, Emma was clearly his mom and seem to have more rights than Regina even though Regina is his legal guardian(I assume). An example is when Emma told Regina Henry wasn't her son in season two and that she couldn't see him. It also seems Henry lives with the charming. If I'm not mistaken Henry mentioned staying with Regina on the weekends in season three. Again they both clearly love each other because they shared tl kiss.

With Rowland I don't think it will be snow version 2 for many reasons but the main two are that she actually wants to be Rowland stepmother and he didn't help destroy her life. I think eventually Rowland might begain to look at Regina more as a mother (i said that wrong in my first comment) than Henry because she's the only one he's got. And Regina is clearly capable of loving someone else's child as her own. That doesn't mean her relationship with Henry will be altered at all it just means she will have another son who might love her more than Henry because she's his only mother.
