So, here is the Wolf that blocked Emma from leaving Storybrooke:
and here are screencaps of the wolf in “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter”. This is from Sheriff Graham’s dream:
on the Storybrooke main street:
So, it appears that the two main wolves we have seen are two different wolves. Let’s say for the sake of conversation that the wolf in the Pilot episode is a real wolf (no matter what Mr. Gold said), but who (or what is the second wolf we (or Graham, actually) saw in Storybrooke? Let’s go strictly by color schemes in clothing. Suspect #1:
Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold
Suspect #2:
The Evil Queen/Regina
Suspect #3:
Red Riding Hood/Ruby
We’ll keep an eye on this, for sure. #rubywatch
Who else? What do you think? Who/What is the second wolf?

In episode 7, Henry told Graham: “You were raised by wolves. That’s why
you keep seeing one. It’s your friend. Your guide. It’s trying to help
you.”
I think the wolf in episode 1 that Emma saw is the _same_ wolf that Graham
saw. The wolf wanted Emma to stay in Storybrooke. The Evil Queen did not, so
that would rule her out.
Perhaps this wolf is part of the “Deeper Magic” that the Evil Queen knows
nothing about (eg. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) and has the
ability to materialize to whomever it wants. If so, the wolf could have
always been a wolf in the Fairy Tale world, or a human who can take the
form of a wolf.
