The Dragon--do you mean  "slowly poisoning" as "manipulating" or literally? If you mean it metaphorically, Sweetrobin Arryn seems to genuinely enjoy Littlefinger's presence, despite the manipulation. Harm may come to him after all, but I really don't see him as being in an immediate danger. Again, I don't know the books.

It also seems to be that the TV Sansa is only realizing that "no one can protect anyone." She repeats this several times. I see it less as ruthlessness and more as the realization that if she wants safety, she has to get off her ass and fight for it herself (crudely put, but you see my point).
