It would seem to give us a little insight into the book if he is left out of the traveling scenes.

If the Hound is alive in the books and the 'death' described by the brotherhood was merely symbolic/figurative, then he'll probably have a significant role in the last 2 books - so he'll need to be developed as a character.

If, OTOH, he's physically deceased, then his role in the story can probably be replaced somehow. It will take some machinations, to be sure, but it could be done without damaging the stories ability to move forward, IMO.

So we may get a glimpse into how the books go based on how they treat the Sandor in the show.
True enough. I just really liked the insight into the whole Clegane brothers dynamic. But in the grand scheme of things, I can see how that's not very important at all when you have to cut and mold things into shape that fits the TV show's time and budgeting constraints (assuming he's really dead).
