But I've been of the mind all along that Sandor's death was purely a symbolic one; a passing of 'The Hound' and being reborn as Sandor. I'm about 80% sure that he's still out there kicking around.

I hadn't considered the possibility of him coming back to fight on behalf of the church against Gregor, however. That's pretty damn good...

Better that than this...

"We will have to wait and see. It has been confirmed that Clegane's is not one of the mystery POVs in A Dance With Dragons. Despite whatever pleasure we may have taken from his character, we must accept the fact of the most likely conclusion to this theory: that Sandor's life and death will not be confirmed or denied, that the remaining books will never confirm his continued existence as the gravedigger, and that, if the theory is true, he will spend the rest of the tale on the Quiet Isle, repenting for his life of violence through a vow of silence, as the Elder Brother did. Sandor Clegane may not be dead, but it probably doesn't matter; barring an unforeseen turn of events, he is still finished in A Song of Ice and Fire."
