We are also getting a lot of information that Martin wanted out there but never got around to.
Ex: I read an interview with him when he talked about the age of the Stark brood as it compared to the books ( I think Jon was 14 or something?).
He said he had meant to age them a lot more as the books went on but found no way to make enough time pass with everything going on in all the various viewpoints, so he just made them older in the show. Apparently there are details HE changed to keep things more in line with his original intent, even if it differed from the books.
