A question of my own.

Does Rumplestilskin know Emma is the saviour (I tend to think so)?  And if he does, did he bring Henry there on purpose to Regina, knowing it would eventually lead to Emma coming to Storeybrook?

I can't help but wonder if he wants the curse to be broken so that he has his magic again.

He certainly seems to know more about the town than the other residents, and thus has an inkling that Emma is important in some way. And Henry can't have been a coincidence - in fact, given the way time passes in Storybrooke Mr. Gold would have been making impossible changes long before Emma arrived.

For me the question resolves more to "What is Rumpels'/Mr. Go;d's" endgame? He was playing both sides of the curse, indicating to me that he, at least, is actually looking for a way out of the Fairy Tale land. He's a trickster character with power, but given his requests from Regina and his desire to know Emma's name, what he's really after is going to be far and away from what we expect.
