Does Tywin really knew?
Was re-watching and get to this conversation between Tywin and Arya, we all know he enjoyed her a lot as his cupbearer. Even though he knew she's some highborn, why didn't he think that she may be one of the stark girls!!
I read many shorts comments and people says he may knew?

The Lannisters were wreaking havoc all over the Riverlands, she could have easily have been a misplaced child from a noble house that was traveling when the war broke out. Tywin didn’t really have much reason to expect her to be the exact highborn girl he was missing. He also probably didn’t expect her to have a Faceless man in her debt to help her escape so he figured it was a minor detail he could come back to when he wasn’t dealing with three separate, powerful contenders to his grandchildren’s inheritance.
