Of course, i am not saying otherwise :)

I am just speculating that Hightower is inside the castle because another character is needed to let Eddard ask question too and explain some of the plotholes. Instead of a handmaiden you have Hightower explaining "she is in a fever, she has not long left...bla bla bla..."
