She's NEVER forgiven Tyrion for Killing her mother.
All her life, she's had a festering hate for the imp.
And yet - she hadn't done anything about it, that we know of, for 30+ years. What changed at that precise moment, in Winterfell?

How about - being a spoiled psychopath, who thinks himself invincible and who just got slapped by an "imp" - and probably not for the first time.

Jamie is a POV character in the books. He may have reasons to lie about his involvement to Tyrion, Catelyn, or whoever - but there's no reason to lie to the reader, who's following his thought process. Also worth mentioning is that Cersei - who's also a POV character in the later books - never once remembers scheming to blame Tyrion for Bran's assassination, even though she continually obsesses over Tyrion, as well as her own past. It's odd, that she would never think to herself, that her brother's perceived hatred towards her and her children might stem from the fact, that he could have found out about her alleged plot to frame him for Bran.
