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.

I never said there's anything honorable about her, just that I kind of like her. She is just a mother doing anything to protect and advance her children.
Catelyn releases the most dangerous man in Westeros to protect her children, she slits the throat of a mentally disabled person to try to protect one child, and later she is fully prepared to execute someone she knows is innocent to protect her children. How is she different?
