I think she's gonna screw everything up, because there's no such thing as happily ever after. Hers is the story of make believe, and I think she's going to get continually punished for it. Much like theon will never be redeemed.
I mean every scene Sansa has been in for two seasons has indicated her growing intelligence/cunning/ruthlessness. She learned from her father and especially learned from his mistakes (her words); tells Jon he should listen to her in war planning meeting before BoB, and she is proven correct as they get slaughtered until KotV show up; she learned from Cersei and Littlefinger; her maester comments on how wise she is, etc.
