TeddyTutbill said: Because season 3 has aired, I feel better about answering this question. Bolton's bastard, Ramsey, burned the castle and kidnapped Theon. TheHound1 said: The soldiers that were surrounding the castle were the ones who burned it.
They're supposedly doing it for Robb Stark, but have their own best interests at heart. We hear Roose mention Ramsay in series two when he talks about sending his bastard to capture winterfell from the iron born.

If Roose Bolton was already planning his betrayal of the Starks, he knew he would be making a play for Winterfell so why burn his future castle? And if Roose Bolton was not already planning his betrayal of the Starks, the burning is even more puzzling as it is treasonous to the King in the North. You are correct Bolton was already planning that.
Given Robb's constant blunders, He was certain that North was doomed to be defeated eventually and he didn't plan on being on the losing side. Jaime turning up at Harrenhal gave him the opportunity to pull his master-stroke, getting on the good side of Tywin Lannister.
Many key logical factors like this one are missing from the Show due to their time and focus constraints. Which in turn gives birth to such questions by Show-fans.
In the Books, Ironborn didn't abandon Theon. They were all killed by Ramsay. The Boltons attacked Cassel and killed him and his men.
So given the size of massacre, it would have been evident something grand had happened. Therefore they needed to destroy the evidence and make it look like it was the Ironborn who did it. In the Show, they didn't show the Wex Pyke either. He was Theon's squire and hid in the God's Woods. He's the main source of how Northmen learnt that Bran was still alive and Boltons were in league with Freys and Lannisters. Plus it was Ramsay who later took it as his personal seat, not Roose Bolton.
Seat of House Bolton remained Dreadfort. Ramsay claimed Winterfell for his own by virtue of his marriage to Arya Stark. Sign up to join this community.

Unlike in the show, the bodies have not been flayed.
Maester Luwin is fatally injured and left to die. Wex is the only ironborn who is neither killed nor captured by the Boltons; he hides in the godswood, witnessing the atrocities that Ramsay and his men commit. Lord Frey 's grandsons are brought to the Dreadfort as guests. In the following morning, the Stark boys and their companions come out of their hiding place. They find Luwin near death. He advises them to split, but is uncertain where should they go, for the North is crawling with ironborn and Boltons.
Some time later, Asha comes to Winterfell, searching for her brother. She finds only mutilated, unrecognizable dead bodies, partly eaten by scavengers. She assumes Theon is dead, though she cannot be certain. It seems to her that the northmen fought amongst themselves - a rather accurate description of the battle.
Only in the fifth novel she finds out Theon is alive and held prisoner at the Dreadfort, as implied in a taunting letter she receives from Ramsay, but unlike in the show she never attempts to rescue him.
In "A Storm of Swords" , Lothar Frey tells the Starks that his nephews "Big" Walder and "Little" Walder sent a letter from the Dreadfort to the Twins , informing him that Winterfell has been destroyed and Ser Rodrik is dead; that the Northern lords tried to retake Winterfell from the ironborn, and when Theon saw that his prize was lost - he put the castle to the torch and put many of the Starks' servants to the sword; that a few women and children were saved and carried back to the Dreadfort by Ramsay Snow, and they are safe in the Dreadfort.
To Robb's question, Lothar says that the letter did not mention what happened to Theon. Since the treacherous Freys are later revealed to be in league with the Boltons, it is unclear whether Lothar has deliberately lied to the Starks, or simply repeated the contents of the letter which was undoubtedly dictated by Ramsay and did not know if they were true or not. After the Starks hear the news about Balon's death , Roose comes to the Twins and tells them the same false news they have already heard from Lothar, that the ironborn have burnt Winterfell and killed most of its residents, and Ramsay saved the day and took the survivors to the Dreadfort; he also reveals what Lothar did not know - that Theon is alive, held prisoner at the Dreadfort and being flayed by Ramsay this is the only true part of Roose's report.
Robb says furiously that he wants Theon's head, not his skin; Roose persuades him to keep Theon alive for the present, in order to demand concessions from the ironborn who currently compete over the Seastone Chair. Robb reluctantly agrees. It is unclear whether Ramsay acted on his own or at his father's orders. The fact that he commanded his soldiers to spare the Freys suggests that he got orders from his father they could have made contact by sending ravens between Harrenhal and Dreadfort without Robb's knowledge, as Roose contacted the Lannisters , but it is uncertain.
Soon after Jon returns to Castle Black , he is told by Maester Aemon that his brothers died at Theon's command, after he took Winterfell in his father's name; when his father's bannermen threatened to retake it, he put the castle to the torch.
Grenn adds that Jon's brothers were avenged by Ramsay, who killed all the ironborn, and it is said he's flaying Theon inch by inch for what he did obviously Aemon and Grenn have not deliberately given Jon false information, but innocently relied on false reports. Jon is overwhelmed by the bad news, but is confused to hear that Bran is dead, recalling that he saw Summer at Queenscrown.
Kyra's fate is revealed too, but it is unknown what has become of the seven Starks' servants who have been taken captive by Ramsay.
According to the appendix of "A Feast with Crows" , they are held prisoners at the Dreadfort too; in view of the manner Ramsay treats his prisoners especially women it is unlikely they survived, but maybe some of them are still alive. Thus they and Davos realize who was really responsible to the sack of Winterfell; this has not become public knowledge yet, though. Game of Thrones Wiki. Game of Thrones Wiki Explore.
