Sansa does deserve some credit for the fact that Winterfell is back in Stark hands.  Jon wanted to go off "somewhere warm" and Sansa pushed him into fighting to reclaim Winterfell.   And yes, the Vale-lords did come for Sansa.  Sansa is also entitled by birth order to be the Lady of Winterfell if Bran abdicates, which he has; and that counts hugely in Westerosi succession.  And Jon has left Sansa in charge and (if I remember correctly) said that she is the Lady of Winterfell; after Sansa did not protest (and graciously accepted) Jon's being named King in the North.

Has Sansa been somewhat manipulative?  Yes.  Has she betrayed Jon, or the North?  No.  What I don't care for is Arya's harping on Sansa's pretty clothes and liking for nice things and fondness for 'knitting' and assumptions about Sansa's behavior without having witnessed it in context.  As I said, Arya remembers Sansa standing with the Lannisters in nice clothes and a nice hairdo when Ned was being dragged to his execution; but she doesn't remember Sansa screaming and struggling in the hands of a Kingsguard after Joffrey sentenced Ned to death.  Sansa had to watch Ned's head lopped off; while Yoren shielded Arya from that final horror.  

The problem is that Arya is treating Sansa like an enemy, not a sister.

 

Selective Memory if I've ever seen one.

Like she was literally screaming and struggling and saw her father die and then fainted.

Not to mention having to stare at his head afterward and endure all she did.

Does Arya really believe the Lannisters gave her every comfort? Or that she spent her time in the South as an honored guest.

Someone needs to sit her down and tell her what happened to her sister.

Imagine if it was Arya in Sansa's place....she'd be dead.

just like Sansa probably wouldn't have survived in Arya's place.

Hmm.....Sansa sending Brienne away is actually kinda smart...Littlefinger thinks Sansa is keeping Brienne close because of Arya, but Sansa is actually sending her away.

 

Always keep your foes confused, eh...

 

I don't blame her for not wanting to go back to King's Landing.
