Well Sandor Clegane is no choir boy. Sure, he's not as bad as his brother Gregor but I'd hardly classify him as a good guy.

Considering his upbringing and the sorts of people he has had to associate with, I think he's turned out fine, especially looking at his interactions with Arya.

I agree he's not all bad. Martin does a wonderful job at creating characters that are deep and not as clear cut as one might have thought at first. Actually, in Feast for Crows when they talked about The Hound raping and pillaging Saltpans, I knew it couldn't be him for real because it didn't fit with Sandor at all. He's crude, brash, violent but he's not a rapist.

I think the last episode did a pretty good job of pointing that out, actually. They can't actually pin any charges on him, other than murdering one kid on his prince's orders, so they just kind of say "screw it, we'll fight". Which, looking back, makes me pretty happy about what I know will be the result of the fight ^_^
