Can I try a theory on you guys?
Tyrion's dad is actually the mad king. Hence why Jamie killed the mad king and why Tywin hated him so much (because the mad king slept with his wife and Tyrion is his son).
Therefor Tyrion is actually a Targaryan and sister to Daenerys. That would explain how he managed the dragons so well.
Also, the "Prince that was promised" prophecys fit well with him:
They are the blood of the dragon.
Born amidst smoke and salt.
Born beneath a bleeding star.
Will wake dragons out of stone.
Will draw Lightbringer from the flames.
Will possibly have to make a sacrifice.
The last two I think are yet to happen.
That theory is nothing new. Plenty believe Game of Thrones will end with Dany, Jon and Tyrion riding one dragon each (as all 3 are Targaryian), kicking fuck on all the White Walkers etc.
The only issue with the rest of your theory is where you state that's why Jamie killed the mad king and why Tywin hated the king so much.
No way would a family like the Lannisters want to bring a dwarf into the world. If Tywin had a sniff that Tyrion wasn't his I am sure he'd have killed Tyrion at the earliest opportunity.
I actually think Tyrion is a Targaryian and either his mother was from Targaryian blood, or Tywin will be revealed as some kind of surprise hero, who actually took Tyrion under his wing, not to dissimilar from the Ned and Jon scenario. (although unlikely)
