Snow will forgive herself and end up unblackening her heart.

Keep in mind Cora did a lot of shit yet her heart was glowing red, because it wasn't inside her when she commited those acts, no emotions no guilt.

The thing is, Regina has NEVER EVER EVER shown TRUE remorse or guilt for things she has done (especially to Henry). That right there makes me think that Snow will never blacken her heart. Snow will recover for this because she actually shows real human emotion. Regina shows emotion all the time! In fact, she was so remorseful that she gave up magic and tried to be good for the first half of this season for Henry AND she destroyed the curse she was going to use to kill MM (again, FOR Henry)...
