Don't get me wrong, I don't want Sansa to marry the kind of beautiful young princeling she dreamt of pre-GoT. I don't quite understand people who mind when Sansa is shipped with an older man, because I think Sansa would be way happier with a more mature man than with a guy her own age. I want Sansa to realise (she already has done so, a bit) that outward beauty isn't what mattered, that whether a man makes her happy or not does not depend on him being a pretty, gallant knight from the songs. I think many people ship Sandor/Sansa for precisely that reason: because it's about Sansa learning to love someone for other reasons than "my beautiful golden prince SPARKLE".

I can see it happening, but I don't want it to happen. Also, I don't think Sansa will be mistress of Winterfell. It looks like Rickon will be returning, and I think his character would be fairly pointless if he doesn't end up being the Stark in Winterfell. I just want Lord Rickon. ;)

I agree. Sure, Sansa is important to Sandor, but he'd abandon her in a heartbeat if it meant getting a chance to kill Gregor. So I hope that he'll manage. And then, I don't know, die defending Sansa, or die helping her kill Littlefinger. ^^
