That's another thing. Like a genie, it seems to me that Rumple's a conduit for greater magic that he doesn't have access to outside the bounds of a contract. I mean, we don't know how much power it takes to obliterate a fairy, so he may well be a powerful being in his own right, but nothing he's done so far suggests that. Of course that could just be another instance of him not wanting to throw magic around when there are subtler ways of achieving his aims.
I remember the guard mentioning that to her, but without any magical experience I'm not sure Snow, or anyone who didn't use magic for that matter, would fully appreciate the implications of giving Rumplestiltskin their name. And like you said, Snow appreciates Rumplestiltskin for what he is. As long as you don't try and screw him over (as Charming wanted to do), you'll get what you want.
Yeah, not their best work. In fact the first thing my sister said when the scene cut to Leopold's court was, "Oh, look! A green screen!"
