I agree with you about Tyrion, even though I know that kin-slaying is supposed to be the worst possible thing in the Martinverse. But his kin were perfectly willing to kill him, really. And I think the way Tywin treated him for his entire life kind of severed the bond of kinship.
But then, I have a whole theory about how certain vows should be broken, that it's the truly right - even honorable - course, so I may not be the best authority on this stuff.
