Could be either Jaime or Joffrey, both of which were a direct threat to the Starks at the time and have a very direct connection to the Starks' destiny. The Mountain is just a mindless animal (more so now than he was then).

I just don't see them bringing up Littlefinger's actual sigil being the Titan if they don't plan to do some foreshadowing with it. Littlefinger is looming over all of them. He seeks to destroy them all and probably has the destiny most tied with the Starks more so than any other major character. A maid is said to slay a giant, and that maid does slay somewhat of a giant and puts it's head on the wall of a snow castle designed after Winterfell. Arya thinks on how the Titan would be able to step over the walls of Winterfell.

Even Littlefinger's nickname is drenched in irony. Your little finger is supposed to be the most harmless part of your body, but Littlefinger has proven to be the opposite of that and be the single most dangerous man in the realm. He is the giant that is constantly referenced, and the Mountain is merely the red herring. It's subtle, but it makes sense.
