Who is Henry in the fairytale world in Once Upon A Time? It was never mentioned in the first season and I think he could be someone from the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist.

He does not have a counterpart. The people in Storybrooke are not just counterparts to the people in Fairytaleland, they ARE the people from Fairytaleland. It's just that most of them were under a spell when they came here. Henry was born in our world, so he only has one identity.

I don't think he's supposed to have a Fairy Tale counterpart. He wasn't born in the Fairy Tale world. Other than Snow and Charming's grandson, I don't know if he could be someone else. Although it would be interesting if he did have a counterpart. I haven't read Oliver Twist in some time. So, not quite sure how that would relate to Henry's situation. Still, the writers are really good at stringing the stories together.

He can't have a counterpart as he has never been to fairytale land having been born in our world. After lectura some theories about who his father may be I'm going to throw this crazy scenario out there and suggest that captain hook is his father and he is peter pan.. Because maybe hook was always pan's father...The traditional stories change a lot in OUaT. My reasoning behind this is because we know Emma didn't want henry to know who his real father was because he wasn't a good guy. The flaw I worry about in this scenario is how did hook meet Emma in the real world? Although, perhaps he ended up in the real world at the end of peter pan. Pan was able to get to the real world, why not hook too?
