I may be overreaching but I see references to the idea of the Bear and the Maiden Fair in this chapter dedicated to Daenerys. I also see possible references to Sandor Clegane.
There are two references to bears, one because ser Willem is compared to a grey bear,he is feared but kind to Sansa, he is half-blind like the old dog that tried to protect Sansa from Marillion,he is a protective fugure and he calls Dany Little princess.
We are also introduced to ser Jorah, a knight who will eventually fall in love with Dany and whose sigil is a bear. The man is wearing a dark-green tunic.
Two bears for Dany, the maiden fair in this chapter.
Dany is a girl of thirteen and considered old enough to attrack the attention of a man in his prime,much older than her (about thirty). She is scared of the man although he has done nothing to her to make her feel afraid,he just looks so foreign, so strong and intimidating that she is shocked. He is described as very tall and fierce but the servant girl that helps Dany bathe says he is handsome. Does being so tall and fierce-looking equal being handsome for the servant girl? Would it be the same if applied to Sandor,if he didn't have those loathsome scars? Perhaps, he is said to be really well-built and fit.
Drogo's description is very similar to Sandor's, a man who towers over the rest and nobody can beat in battle,or so it seems,a man who is very strong but agile at the same time. Sandor is also said to be surprisingly agile for his height. As far as I can remember they are the only characters in the series said to be so tall and nimble and the same time.
Sansa is very similar to Dany:beautiful, highborn and helpless,without an agenda because she has no choice but doing what others choose for her. Dany marries a stranger and falls in love with him. What will happen to Sansa?
In the next chapter she will meet a stranger, scary,fierce and tall, a man who calls his horse Stranger and feels an outsider everywhere he goes. A man who loves his horse as much as the horse-lord loves his. I also remember how Cersei said that Sansa would be singing for the Stranger.
I know this is a reference to death but it may be also hinting at Sansa and her song to Sandor,the man who keeps asking her for a song and is so much like an angel of death,fearless unless fire is involved.
All these references come before the chapter in which Robert arrives in Winterfell and Sandor comes as one of the Lannister retainers and Joffrey's swornshield. It's surprising because he is a minor character,but he seems to be hinted at before he comes up.
What do you think?

"...When we find the Imp, we will find the Lady Sansa too. She is not dead... but before I am done with her, I promise you, she will be singing to the Stranger, begging for his kiss.” (FfC, Cersei II)
