Alternatively, it could just be them declaring it a coincidence. If you saw a storybook character that looked a lot like you, would you immediately assume that you had been cursed to forget a past life where you were that character? Fair point, but they didn't have to assume that Henry was right about the Curse.

The main thing is David. Mary Margaret visits him every day, and then begins a RELATIONSHIP with him when he wakes up. Even if she couldn't see her own face in Snow White, she'd obviously recognize his face in Prince David if she paged through the book.

Basically, my point is that if you looked through a storybook and recognized, if not your own face, then the face of the person you loved, wouldn't you realize that something screwy may be going on? If you realize that you and your entire family look like some old Disney characters, from classical movies made long before of all of you have born, what would you most likely think, "It's just a strange and funny coincidence" or "My God, I'm a cursed Disney character with no memories of my old life"? Coincidence, since they're generally caricatures and animated. But the pictures in Henry's storybook are fairly realistic. And like I said, they don't have to assume that Henry's right about the Curse---they could just look a little closer and realise that there's a pretty uncanny resemblance. Even if they didn't believe in magic, they might still notice how weird it is and be a little more aware that something's going on. I'm not expecting them to make the exact connection (that would kinda ruin the point of Season One), but having at least one of the cursed characters realise that something's amiss would be both plot-driving and satisfying to know that they're not entirely cursed. Well, in that case, there is someone: Graham. Yes, it was jump-started by kissing Emma but when he looked at the book, he recognized himself.
