He gave Auroras heart back( which shows he can be redeemed) and he was betrayed by emma when he was abandoned on the top of the bean stalk. Plus, hook and rumples wife fell in love. He is going to do anything he can to get revenge on rumple that INCLUDES hurting the women that rumple loves.Um did you watch the same paleyfest video that I did. Hook/emma are going to happen! Plus JMO interview says that they have an undeniable connection, and that they really understand each other. Did you see Tallhassee? It was showing how Neal betrayed her with the watches and got her sent to jail, she was seeing a charming guy that she was starting to trust. But the last time she trusted someone, she went to prison. And it's to hard to risk to get her and snow back to storybrooke. They have a TON of chemistry. Rumple and Regina are way more of a villain then hook! They have done way worse things. Why do they deserve love and hook doesn't? That doesn't make since.

I gotta say... I love Hook - but I'm having a REALLY hard time seeing any chemistry between him and Emma. She's either chained him up (not in a good way), or knocked him out every time she's seen him. Him flirting with her and making suggestive comments is not chemistry... it's characterization. He's a dog - and he seems to know it.

If -anything- happens between them, I assure you, it will neither be -real/true- nor will it be lasting. As you've said before, Hook is a villain... a sexy and hysterical villain, yes - but he is not father material for Henry, and he is not husband... or even boyfriend material for Emma. Not by a long shot.

From the perspective of a writer - I can almost guarentee that Emma and Neal are going to wind up together. The introduction of Tamara as a fiance is a feint... to take away the hope for a brief period of time, so that their inevitable reunion is even more powerful. Everything in the last episode indicates, clearly, that Emma still has feelings for Neal, and his reaction to her and his hesitation to come clean about his relationship with Tamara makes it clear the feeling is mutual. Will the writers throw Hook into the mix to spice up the drama? Probably... But don't look for wedding bells in that future - it's Sawyer/Jack/Kate/Juliet (A LOST reference, if you didn't see the show). I promise.
