Even if that's true, it's the same point. "Family" in Westeros means something different. It means the Lannister name and legacy. It doesn't mean Cercei favoring her children because they're hers. There's nothing honorable about her, in any sense of the word. In the books at least. She's a truly irredeemable character, which is what ultimately separates her from Jamie (as a character, not in a physical sense).

I think Jamie's arc is the best in the books, going from who people think he is in book 1, to who he really is when we get his PoV chapters, to who he's becoming over the course of the series.
