Sansa was never made aware of those specifics. Ned & Cat (and perhaps later Robb) were the only Starks privy to that information.

I wouldn't say that Varys doesn't like anyone. He seemed to like Ned, & I believe that he is growing to like Tyrion as well. He's simply not the type to allow his affections to interfere with his self-preservation. He's similar to Tyrio in that regard but moreso because, as a gelding, there's no little head to muddy…

The i09 review (written by a book reader & always very accurate) confirms that   it was a knight of the Kingsguard. My guess is that it was done on Cersei's orders.

Littlefinger explicitly lays out the the benefits of a Lannister alliance with House Tyrell when he visits Tywin. It was intended as surprise, but it's not exactly out of left field. They both had a shared enemy in Stannis & Margaery wishes to be Queen. It will be interesting to see if & how she takes Sansa's place as…

I was saddened to see that Sansa is unable to recognize the kindnesses Tyrion has extended her & instead chooses to lump him in with the rest of the Lannisters. That comment she made about praying for his safe return just as she would Joffrey's… cold.

Am I the only one who thought of 9/11 & Titanic?

Cersei instructed Sansa to write a letter to Cat & Robb, directly after Ned's imprisonment but prior to his execution. The letter is the reason Robb formed his army in the first place.

We know Tyrion has a soft spot for whores. They have likely been the only women in his life that don't shun him as a half-man. His love, I think, is understandable. But Shae is a prostitute & though she might approximate affection, the value of any relationship is determined largely by what a john does for her. It's…

He recognized her for sure. But I don't think he'd intentionally endanger her since one of his primary raisons d'etre is gaining the love & affection of Cat Stark.

In the GoT universe, incest babies don't become hemophiliacs but they do go mad. 
Joffrey's personality & that of many Targareyns is attributed to incest.
