Two observations plucked from your list:
1)Yara Greyjoy says she needs the old Theon back. Why? The old Theon screwed up 100% of everything he ever did. He was a useless git and is just the same as Reek.
2) I would think that Arya might have tried harder to be discreet and avoid revenge by the Faceless Men,at least until she left Braavos.

All of that is overshadowed by the amazingness that is Lady Lyanna Mormont. Lyanna for Iron Throne '16!
