I think Emma might have an easier time connecting with Snow White than Prince Charming. They both were roomates, giving them both more time together. Emma started giving Mary Margaret advice in the beginning, before it switched the other way around–and then Mary Margaret turned into Snow White in Apple As Red As Blood and was a mom to her. Emma was the only one to believe that Mary Margaret was innocent–I don’t really blame David as much as many do. He was cursed. Mary Margaret was one of the first people in the whole town to make Emma feel at home, and the latter was working hard to prove that the former was innocent. And we have already seen Emma open up to Mary Margaret, lowering her defenses slightly and confiding about her past and her guilt.
With Emma and her father, there might not be much between them because not much happened with them. They did have a few scenes together, and Emma was never harsh on him, even when he was a suspect in Kathryn’s murder. They had a few moments where Emma did look sympathetic, but never were they as close as Emma and Mary Margaret were.
As for Henry, they both bonded, but now Emma may be responsible for him–unless Regina manages to get him back somehow. She has taken care of him–she’s saved him at least twice from certain death, and she has given him affection that he does seem to crave. 😀 But I think this is going to be difficult for her, too–she now has to bond with him, like how she bonded with Mary Margaret. It is different to care for someone and not live with them as opposed to caring and living with them. She does not know his habits, nor may she be used to having a child around.
