I think the reason why the villain was named Hans is twofold: Firstly, the character named after the original author would be the last person you'd expect to be the villain, making the twist all the more shocking. Secondly, the fact that he has the same name as the author implies that Hans pulled a "history is written by the winners" somewhere down the line, and wrote a skewed tale about his experiences in Arandelle. Just a theory.
