Perhaps ordering the Kingsguard member (name escapes me) to kill Tyrion in COK could have been an indication of some personal fear, but I just never saw it that way. Of course, after reading AFFC I can see that view, but in the moment it seemed like she had disdain for Tyrion like her father did, and she wanted him out of her hair primarily because he was usurping her power - nothing about her fear that Tyrion would kill her.
Yeah, that's one of the big ones, but Cersei very much feared Tyrion around her children from the start of the series, and Joffrey feared Tyrion as well. With Myrcella, I think she thought Tyrion was sending her to her death basically by handing her over to the Dornishmen, and she had him have him killed before she led to her, Joffrey, and Tommen's death. Cersei still saw herself as the one in power during CoK and that Tyrion was just a nuissance to her rule, but he was a huge threat to her and her children's lives.

Of course Joffrey hated him - Tyrion was one of the only people who openly put the kid in his place (insert obligatory gif here)
I don't think either of us disagree about the EXTREME protectiveness of Cersei, just sort of the motivation behind it. Clearly your reasoning is correct based on the whole of the text. I guess I struggle with it because before AFFC, I wouldn't have viewed that motivation the same way (if that makes sense). Hence why we're discussing it right now.
