Can a dupe prevent the returning to the hand effect since the character isn't being sacrificed anymore?
No. The character is still sacrificed for all intents and purposes. The only difference is the final out of play destination of the card is now into your hand and not to the discard pile.
Note also that by the time you can trigger Needle's "when (character) is sacrificed" interrupt, you are past the time you can trigger the "(character) would leave play" interrupt of the dupe. So even if the replacement effect turned the sacrifice into a "return to hand" effect (it doesn't), it would be too late to trigger a save, anyway.
The entry on the word "would" in the RRG (p. 23) talks about the difference between "would be X" and "is X" interrupts, and the higher priority for "would be" over "is".
Does Needle return to your hand when its attached character is sacrificed?
It does if you don't trigger the interrupt. It's not terminal, so it follows the usual rules. Sacrificing (discarding) a character will bounce its attachment back to your hand. In this case, however, you *could* choose to trigger the interrupt and retrieve the character while sacrificing Needle.
So when Needle redirects Arya to hand instead of discard, she is still considered to have been sacrificed, and any triggers from that, like Catelyn(Wolves) power gain will happen yes?
Certainly
Is the text wrong? Should not write "dead pile" instead of "discard pile"?
