Personally, I've always thought the Evil Queen divorced her ex-husband, and got a new one. The father didn't die in the original (he just faded into the background, like most fairytale fathers do). And I've always headcanon'd Raven's dad as one of the sons of the Emperor from the Nightingale.

The whole aunt-niece thing is kinda cute, though. I'll love to see that in play if people ever fic about it.
