I think Regina does really love Henry as though he was her son in every way. This is a touchy subject with some people. Foster/step parents can love the children they take in, just as much as biological parents, more so in some cases. I think that would be one point of contention with me is if Regina is made out to have absolutely no heart/redeeming quality whatsoever. Regina didn’t have a clue who the child was that Mr. Gold found for her so she hasn’t made any “plans” for him. She raised him the best way she knew considering her own upbringing. Emma knows Henry all of a minute when compared to Regina and it’s her kiss that wakes him up?! WTH is that?
