But after the curse, they still remember what happened during the curse. I guess not much happened for the first 18 years of the curse. Every day was exactly the same, as seen in Welcome to Storybrooke. Although, after Henry's arrival things started to change a little bit. For example, Mary Margaret knew Henry as a baby. How did she not realize ten years have passed?
Also, after Snow Drifts/There's No Place Like Home there appeared to be no plot change. However, Snow met Hook when he was not in disguise. Wouldn't this have changed the plot of season two? And Belle walked in on Rumple and Hook/Emma talking and Emma even revealed that she knew her name.
Honestly, the only thing I consider canon from that episode is Emma rescuing Marian, Zelena killing her, and then the vault scene where Hook moves Elsa and Rumple and Emma have that heart-to-heart. So like... three scenes.
Heck, even Ginny has said that "Snow Falls" is her favorite episode, so I doubt she'd consider "Snow Drifts" canon since it changes things so radically.
But I guess you could explain it away as the fact that Snow only ever met him once, and in season 2 she never said she'd never heard of him.
As for Belle... Did we ever even get a scene where she meets Emma on-screen? She could've shown some recognition but if we never saw it, then...
