The only reason that I can think of that she did not tell him was that she also don't trust Littlefinger to help. Assuming he didn't arrive until the day of the battle, maybe she didn't want to tell Jon and have him count on the Vale. She needed him to plan the battle assuming that they were on their own because for all she knew at the time, they were.

I'm hoping this is the case. I wish she would have told Jon that she didn't trust LF though.
It would be nice if that were they case, but they seem to be building tension between Jon and Sansa. But who knows.

Yeah, Book Sansa and Show Sansa are basically two different characters right now. Yes, they both had their trials in King's Landing, but Show Sansa taking the place of Jeyne Poole with Ramsay, after being given to him by Littlefinger, gives her a completely different angle on her personality and motivations.

It seems like they are building up to a real conflict between Jon and Sansa. Maybe his parentage will alleviate it? That would put more emphasis on Bran's journey.

It was more along the lines of Jon asking Sansa sarcastically if she trusted Littlefinger, and she retorted in kind with "no".

Are you sure about that? Jon seemed pretty earnest when he asked her. If it was sarcasm, it was pretty subtle.
I don't think it matters if she does or doesn't trust him. With her turning down his marriage "proposal" I think she threw out any chance of her knowing what LF is thinking or doing.
Ok, maybe not quite sarcastic, but more along the lines of "you just spent the last X-number of years with the guy, am I really having to ask you if you trust this guy?" tone of voice.

I took it more as "We'd all be dead now if it wasn't for this guy. Can we count on him to continue to be on our side?" To which Sansa replied "Absolutely not. I know better than to trust him." I don't know that there was any subtext to it, other than that.

I cannot reason out Sansa's motivations. Is she power hungry? I don't think so. I think she is a survivor. I don't see her ending up in King's Landing though it is possible. I could see her and Jon falling in love, but I also see Jon going back to The Wall to prepare for the dead. So, I picture her in Winterfell. She wanted Winterfell so she could control her own fate. I don't think marrying LF and playing the game of thrones is what she wants.
I think Jon rides Viseryion because Viseryion is White
I just say Rhaegal since he is named after his father.
Anyway, Sansa and Jon could marry with no issue once Jon's parentage was revealed to all. Ned's parents were first cousins.
That is the way I took it. However, that little look between LF and Sansa at the meeting said a little something different.

I don't think it matters, because I think Jon is destined to die in the upcoming war against the undead, probably sacrificing himself to kill the Night's King. He's been on a Jesus arc for a while now, and that's where I think it's going to end up. Also, if there was going to be romance between him and Sansa, it would have been hinted at before this. Their interactions would have been different. Sansa will make it through til the end, because survival has been her story arc. All bets are off for the other Stark children.
Of the major characters that are left, I think Dany will likely be alive at the end. It would be hard to see her return and not have a long rule. That's just what she's been set up for. Tyrion will die, probably after doing something that will see his name go down in history as a hero. Theon is going to die. Cerseii is going to die. Jaime too. The Hound could go either way. Littlefinger will die as well. Varys? Maybe.
I took that little look as, Sansa was happy that everyone was rallying behind Jon as King of the North then when she saw Littlefinger sitting in the corner glaring, it made her think "oh ****, LF doesn't back this, and I know what he is capable." I only think this because I thought it was pretty clear that Sansa wanted Jon to be the one who took over the North and ruled. That is just how I interpreted it though.
