Bran maybe, Arya certainly. Add to the list Jaime, Dany, Doran Martell, Asha, Theon, Sansa and Sandor.

Hmmm. It would be pretty cool if Arya were the one to save Sansa from Littlefinger.

strange i got the impression that sansa was quite happy with littlefinger.

One thing I've noticed about Littlefinger is that he seems to have somewhat of a vendetta against Tyrion Lannister. Whenever he's needs to implicate someone in one of his schemes, he attempts to set up the Imp as 'fall-guy' whenever possible. The dagger in 'Game of Thrones', Joffery's wedding; I also wouldn't be at all surprised if Littlefinger wasn't at some level maniplulating Stannis' attack on King's Landing in 'Clash of Kings' which ended Tyrion's control and almost cost him his life. Now Littlefinger has casually remarked to Sansa/Alayne about arranging another attempt on Tyrion's life...

Consider this however when wondering what may turn Sansa against Lord Baelish, the other person in the vale who's had a big impact on her life - Mya Stone. Now we all know who Mya's father was... should Lord Baelish attempt hasten young Robert Arryn's demise maybe we may see a few familial debts being repaid?

I think he "picks" on tyrion because he's one of the very few people who can see past his disfigurement, he knows how clever tyrion is, and so naturally is a potential threat and should thus be removed.

Not to mention, Tyrion is easy for many to dislike. He's an easy scapegoat- he's been considered a monster all his life, so many people would find it simple to pair an ugly face with ugly deeds.

Baelish prides himself on being the most intelligent, the most clever, and the most patient player for the throne. He relishes competing with others who also pride themselves on their wits also... he relishes competing against anyone and everyone.

Also, I think he wanted to get Tyrion before the Imp got good at the game. Tyrion is, roughly, in his late twenties while Petyr is in his mid thirties. Tyrion had access to the Lannister money, the Lannister name, his father's reputation, his brother's sword, and his sister's position... if Baelish let Tyrion become experienced also, then Tyrion might have been his doom. To Littlefinger's thinking, it was best to nip Tyrion in the bud.

Tyrion might still be...

I am aware of the original cold reasoning behind it, but where it was once purely tactics in the 'Game' I believe Baelish has now let his emotions get in the way at least concerning Tyrion. The fact that Tyrion being eliminated has been the sole piece of each of Littlefinger's plots not to fall into place is likely annoy such an artist of the Game of Thrones ever so little. Is he targeting Tyrion at the expense of ignoring other threats to him?

Has Tyrion become 'Moby Dick' to Baelish's 'Ahab'?

[the smiling weirwood]

HA! Tyrion's a whale! A whale is at least as big as a giant, I would say.

[TK-421]

No, if anything Alayne not Tyrion will be Littlefinger's "Achilles Heel".

Now, happy tree, don't go calling him a greek god...
