Oh I agree. I just noticed all of the shadowcat imagery around Qhorin Half-hand, and Cat, who later becomes a "shadow cat", also has a major hand injury.

Figurative or symbolic injuries as well. There's a Jon-Sansa-Jon chapter bridge that I was looking into, and I noticed that Sansa's dream where she's stabbed in a crowd and the knights "betray" her by not helping her is a strong parallel to Jon's getting stabbed. Jon gets stabbed by for betraying the Watch, and it's in these 2 chapters that he's with Qhorin and Ygritte. 2 vow betrayals right there.

Another: Jaime shaves his head (a sort of injury) in ASOS Jaime I and when he looks in the water, he looks older and not like himself at all. Another Theon parallel who looks much older and is losing his hair. Think there's Theon foreshadowing here, too.

Interesting. And Cersei feels older and less glamorous after her head is shaved and she is pelted with meat during her walk of shame.

Maybe it's time for a haircut re-read.
