Interesting--do we have anything re: Rickard hinting in this direction?
Someone on Westeros was arguing that if the Starks saw the crown as an insult by the Targs, why did they leave Lya at Harrenhal. Which didn't seem all that hefty of an argument--if the Starks thought Rhaegar's attention was enough to anger Brandon, same question applies, no?
So--back to Sansa and this moment--Littlefinger is manipulating her, swallowing her words, trying to use her. Could someone have been trying to do something similar with Lyanna? Or, back to the the killing of Lady--could Lyanna be like Arya, defending someone, getting herself into a jam, and running off?
Or a combo--we're seeing sides/angels of Lyanna's story in both Stark girls? The chapter starts with Sansa's waking from a dream of sharing a room with Arya. Wakes at the hour of the wolf. Are both girls giving hints of what happened to Lya?
One other thing--the Bard Marillion is a threat, but one others protect Sansa from. But the people who hire Marillion--no one to protect Sansa from them. So--way out on a limb: perhaps goes with the idea that Rhaegar was only the messenger. Aerys was trying to sabotage Rhaegar's attempts. Ordering Rhaegar to offend his wife, stun the crowd by doing so, and anger the Starks (and probably hopefully the Baratheons)--Lyanna, like Sansa, ends up a as a piece in the game.
But Sansa's pushing back. . . .
