Note: I don’t necessarily disagree with you. But I like playing devil’s advocate. 😉
Sometimes hair color changes from when kids are little to when they’re grown up. I was very, very blond. (I’m not now.) And there’s always dye. If August had hair that was such a striking red/chestnut, I could defnitely see him covering it up. People remember hair like that.
Also .. he could be Pinocchio without Gepetto purposefully sending him through the tree. What if he was carved from it and still had a sort of connection to it? Voila … dumped suddenly in the Real World just like Emma.
(To be honest, I’m starting to believe he’s neither Pinocchio nor Bae … nor Henry’s father. I’m not sure who he is, but I like all the ideas!)
