I'm not sure how far they expand that idea. A fulfilled agreement technically isn't a debt, and the Lannisters seem more like a gangster family that defeats those who wrong them first and foremost. That's part of why I don't think Tyrion will ever betray his family.

I forget when and by whom, but this was suggested at in s2. I think it was Tywin who said that they'll ally with the Tyrells because they need them now, but their betrayal of the crown wont be forgotten and will be dealt with in time.

Their egos are off the charts. Jaime was more viscerally mad about the idea of a wolf telling a lion what to do than losing his hand.
