My mother came to the same initial conclusion - because he said the forest was his realm. But...it didn't work when I thought it through...Also, Willingham sort of already played that trope to death in Fables.
(Snow is the Mayor in Fables, and Wolf is PI turned Sheriff in that world.)

Also, the huntsman is less cliche. Grimm's already doing Big Bad Wolf as the anti-hero, and Willingham did, everyone does. Because of the whole "sexual" thing...

This tale seems to be a little less about sexual awakening and more about family ties, which is a nice change of pace. I'm getting a bit tired of the young girl gets awakened sexually to bad results trope, seriously people need to buy a book on how to masturbate and get over it.
