A little thought:

we know that Tywin had his beef with Aerys and we suspect that Elia had to pay for the "slight" to his family, as well. What might his thoughts about Lyanna have been, and what about Rhaegar himself? Somehow, I don't recall this ever discussed, but wasn't his brutality towards Rhaegar's family facilitated by perceiving Rhaegar as the one who added insult to the injury, eloping with Lyanna Stark after all those years when Cersei was all but being served to him on a golden platter?

Yes, I think you might be right with this. I wonder if Kevan's thoughts on the matter don't give us some hint:

"If Aerys had agreed to marry her (Cersei) to Rhaegar, how many deaths might have been avoided?"

Good connection.

Tywins own obsession with being taken seriously, or being "worthy" goes back to his own issues with his father and how Tywin felt he made the family a laughingstock.

It was said that only Joanna could make him smile- that and death.

And this obsession only hastened the downfall of the Lannisters, in my opinion.
