Yes, I'd like to see her put one over Cersei, although that is proving to be getting easier, if Cersei's time in office is anything to go by.

What I find interesting about Sansa is how much other characters project onto her. It wasn't hard to see how besotted she was with knights and romance, but the rest of her true desires and independent thoughts remained hidden from everyone. Which is possibly what Sandor saw, and what fascinated him so.

Many other people used her as a blank slate for what they desired or hated.
F'r'instance, Cersei dismissed her as a stupid noble girl, fit only for breeding and polite conversation. Cersei felt this was her exact opposite, but also feared that she herself was destined to be forced into that role, by her arranged marriage(s), her fathers (and Jaime's) contemptuous treatment, and societies views on women.
So I hope we get to see more of who Sansa 'really' is.
