She hasn't lost her Stark nobility nor have her experiences changed her for the worse, she understands people better. I'm glad that a Stark is learning from the mistakes that her family has made before, too trusting, too honorable, too forward, too traditional.. and it all because they have always been Kings in the North... now that's been challenged, they need to adapt and Sansa has done that. And why should she not be colder, more upfront, more ruthless and protect herself from ever going through what she has been through...
Her father and mother never went though as much as she did, maybe her dad did to a certain degree but she has gone through so much more.... why would she not "enjoy" seeing her rapist being murdered, the guy who helped kill her family, the guy who took her childhood home away, the man who physically and mentally abused her? Her little smile at the end was just a small glimpse at her finally winning for once and for the right reasons.... she's not just going to go around have dogs kill random people for pleasure. plus she's always been faced with gore, back in season one she saw knights get killed brutally and she didn't turn away, she knew she had to observe that as a Lady and keep on going.

Because she still has family that love her. Jon would die for her, but she couldn't tell him about the Vale? I think that was a mistake. It makes for great television, but it's a fault in her character.
She could have let him draw up a proper battle plan (which Jon has done before, he's not an idiot, he knows strategy), one that didn't involve him sacrificing every man on the field, including himself. She kinda expected him to die I think, hence her reaction to seeing him. That's no way to treat someone that is literally starting a war for you and your cause.
I love the episode and I have no criticism, i'm just saying, I hope Jon is able to persuade her into trusting him. Jon is too precious to be lied to
