re: GoT "Middle Ground" Thread - Between Seasons Edition ***Spoilers Possible***

I look at it as multi-tiered for Littlefinger:

1) He knows that if the Boltons want to keep the North, they'll never harm Sansa. After the shite they pulled at the Twins, Roose especially, knows that their hold on the North is razor thin. It's why he agreed to the marriage to begin with. And I promise you she'd frick Ramsay's world up if he tries to do something to her.

2) Littlefinger knows he can't have the North without Sansa back in and that means kissing up to the Boltons for a little while. He doesn't have a large enough army to take them out on his own.

3) Once he has the North under Sansa, he becomes one of the most powerful men in the Seven Kingdoms. Love for Catelyn or not, it's always been about the power.

And I think he's willing to put Sansa is enough of harm's way to get the big prize.
