The prophecy given to Cersei by maggie the frog in the books said Cersei would be killed by the valonquar which means "little brother", so naturally Cersei assumes it will be Tyrion which has fueled her irrational hatred of him. However, there are many theories on who the valonquar really will be. Could be Jaime since he was born after Cersei even though they were twins. I have my own theory which is: (spoiler tagged because it goes into a lot of stuff not covered on the show yet)

Spoiler!

I think the Hound Sandor Clegane is still alive and living with the monks on the Quiet Isle as shown in the Brienne chapter from AFFC when she visits there.

Gregor Clegane (the Mountain) is of course still alive, to some extent anyway, thanks to Qyburn and is now part of the kingsguard as shown at the end when he carries Cersei into the Red Keep after her naked walk.

Cersei's trial by battle is coming soon in the next book, and my theory is that Zombie Gregor will fight for Cersei, and the church will have Sandor (the little brother to Gregor) fight for the church. Sandor wins and thus "kills" Cersei who will then be put to death. There are no Lannisters left to protect her except Tommen, and I'm not sure he's capable.

Of course, this is all just a theory. We will see!

Pretty sound theory.
