...Well, there's lots of guesses about why Hansel isn't affected. I'll just throw another one out there: what if he's the cliche Prince-with-a-pure-heart character who breaks curses? I mean, we've got fairies, witches, witch hunters, magical beings half and whole, princesses, but we have yet to see a Prince at all.
In the prologue chapter, we see that Hansel works(?) in a castle, but it felt more likely that he became a Prince. So sometime after he and Gretel were separated from Yielle, he must have somehow become Royalty (or maybe he was always Royalty, but was separated?M. In a dream Yielle has in one of the chapters, she's living with him in the castle, but he's called Arthur instead...or maybe I'm mistaking the details?
Anyway, I think Hansel being the Prince character could also explain resilience against curses and spells. He needs to have the thick plot armour to allow him to be the ML of the story.
