I just don’t see Henry doing magic, except as a means to control his actions while asleep. He already refused magic when Regina offered to teach him, and I think he’s too smart to be tricked. No one hated the curse more than he did for enacting such evilness as revenge against his birth family. He knows better than anyone that magic always comes with a price.
Henry refused Reginas magic- Yes, but that was because it was Reginas- He doesn’t want to become like her, that is what he said. And that is an exact ecco of what Regina said too her mother when she was young. Regina didnt want to get involved with magic either, but look where she is now.
You say he doesn’t want to do magic, exept when…. But it is exactly when this little ‘exept when’ comes in to the picture, that the rollercoaster starts rolling and it goes faster and faster down hill.

I think Mr. Gold has good intentions when it comes to Henry. He said that Henry shouldn’t have to pay the price for Regina’s use of dark magic, which is what his own son, Baelfire, did for Mr. Gold’s decision to cling to dark magic. Gold doesn’t want what happened to Bae to happen to a good kid like Henry, especially since Henry probably reminds him a lot of Bae. I also believe that by showing Mr. Gold’s tenderness for Henry, the writers are setting the stage to reveal Henry as his grandson.
Maybe it comes down too what you and me would like to see, because we really can’t know yet, it can go either way. So in the end we will see if the writers want too go in the same direction as you want to go, or in the direction I would like to go. I think the difference between these two theories is whether you want Gold to be good right now or if you want him too be evil or act to his own benefit right now. I definitly prefer the latter just for the time being, not saying he cant be redeemed and all that later on.
