It’s an absolute monster of a castle and it was melted by a dragon so how could you? It costs a fortune to keep it running and supplied so there’s no point really in repairing it. It also wouldn’t surprise me if they did have some nicer food before Larys started embezzling but now that it’s gone they’re being a bit more frugal

      Notice how he never complains of any sleep deprivation or even understands whats happening to Daemon. I think the Werewood trees and the magic of Harrenhall agree with him totally so they dont give him nightmares because his soul and intentions are pure.
      Harrenhall seems to be bad only to those with bad intentions and dishonorable characters. I think finally Daemon understood his place and role in the world and he wont be tormented anymore by nightmares.

      When the war is over, the last surviving son of Rhaenera, whose father is a Strong, will become king.
      Thus through this child and later Jon Snow, house Strong lives on, albeit Harrenhal is said to end bloodlines for good.
      Maybe his honest kind saved at least the bloodline while the name and house fell to ruin.
