** the problem is that the people of the nation would know. Snow White is their king’s sole child and thus heir to his throne whereas the Queen is merely a placeholder (as she married into the family she can’t inherit it); so if the Princess were to suddenly vanished or die by poison or assassination suspicion would automatically fall on the Queen as the sole person to benefit from Snow White’s absence. Especially if her husband’s still alive.

*** it might’ve been a way to lower Snow White’s suspicions as this was in a time Europe (especially Germany) were in the throes of persecuting “witches” for committing crimes against humanity by “consorting” or “making pacts” with Satan in exchange for what they had. All too frequently it was people who looked like the disguised queen who were targeted for being “witches” as they weren’t attractive, usually lived alone on the edge of society, had sometimes extensive knowledge of herb-lore as well as the crafting of potions, had a pet that they were frequently seen with, and were nearly ALWAYS women. Everything the queen (in hag form) represents down to her pet bird, as a result Snow White might’ve believed the disguised Queen to be an outcast like herself.

** The plot depends on Snow White going along with it. Obviously the Queen can't just say "Please go off into the woods so the Hunstman can kill you in a secluded place." So instead she says "I've heard of a lovely clearing with beautiful flowers in it. Could you please go there and pick some flowers for me? The Huntsman will show you the way."

** There are plenty of real-life people who keep a key to their own house under the welcome mat even though a thief would be able to find it easily. But if you think the risk of thieves is really low, then the convenience is worth the risk. Likewise with the dwarfs. If they ever heard news about robbers in the area, they'd take the key home with them instead of leaving it by the door. But they haven't heard of any robbers in a long time, so they've gotten complacent. (In the meantime, the lock still keeps wild animals out of their stash.)

** We--and probably the huntsman--don't fully know what Queen Grimhilde can do with her magic exactly. Suppose he leads Snow to safety, only for the queen to use some kind of see-as-I-see spell, or suppose she reads his mind? No, better to just send her off and claim plausible deniability.

** I don't think the Huntsman had any of this planned out in advance. He felt bad about killing her, so he stopped himself, told her to run, and then quickly came up with the "heart of a pig" trick. This wasn't some sort of professional rescue operation.

I'm pretty sure this question is a fake, based on a viral Twitter post that "calculated" Florian's age based on a Google search. There is no credible source that says the age gap is that extreme; this is just trying to perpetuate a meme.

** It was likely done in the interest of maintaining the guise that Grimhilde and Humbert were innocent in Snow's disappearance. The Queen probably had a cover story ready detailing how the princess had been killed in some mishap while out in the forest with the huntsman, which preemptively removes any suspicion from herself.

** The movie also repeatedly shows that the animal companions are not terribly smart. It's almost a deconstruction of the trope, in that regard, as they repeatedly react to new situations according to normal animal instincts or whatever would seem to be the obvious choice. Snow White indicates a tone of surprise at something? Quick, run and hide! Snow White asks the animals to help clean the dishes? Just lick them clean and put them away in the cupboard! There's this person who may be harmful toward Snow White? Attack! Attack Attack! ... Any other ideas? Well, let's go get the dwarfs to help, that's all we can do on our own!
