Game Of Thrones Season 6 Finale: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'The Winds Of Winter'

7. Will Sansa Side With Littlefinger?

Littlefinger's always been a character who has schemed to get ahead, but although his goal has seemed clear, he's now finally admitted it: he wants to sit on the Iron Throne, with Sansa by his side.

At first, Sansa rejects the image in his head, and that might have been the end of it. However, Jon is then named King in the North (KING IN THE NORTH!) by the Lords (and Lady), giving him rule of Winterfell and the North that she probably feels she deserves (especially as the trueborn child of Ned Stark).

There's a telling look between Baelish and Sansa at the end of that scene, and it's evident he hasn't given up hope just yet. Will she side with him, going against Jon, or is she going to stick with her family and reject him once and for all?

Hopefully it's the latter, because while it's been interesting to see Sansa develop into a real player of the game, her siding with Littlefinger against Jon does not seem like the best move for the Starks, given they've only just started to get back together.
