It has been obvious since the first time he tried to get Catelyn to leave Ned. He was trying everything he could do to get Catelyn, stability be damned, his reputation be damned, her reputation be damned. When he finally realized he'd lost her forever, he just switched to Sansa, not looking to be king of the North, just to have her as a mistress, because it would be kinda like having Catelyn.
Every. Single. Line. Anytime he speaks in that gravelly tone, it reeks of his destructive ambitions. A credit to his actor, playing such a one-dimensional character in a way that makes you think he is that much more, just like Littlefinger wants to be seen as.
