Since she left Sandor Clegane...
If time is linear how can Hodor have been created before Bran existed? This isn't me coming up with a theory, this is simply following the logical path that they have created. Without a catalyst it is simply saying because it is.
Bran eventually fulfills a loop by becoming the catalyst for Hodor's madness, but he wasn't necessary for it to happen. If Bran doesn't Warg into Hodor they get mowed down in the snow, everyone dies, but they don't change the glimpse of the 'future' that Hodor saw as a child, it's just that that future never eventuates.
The vision/experience was real to Hodor, the final outcome contextualises it and gives it meaning, but that outcome was not guaranteed.
