Taking care of Bran. This was SUCH a sad scene. His entire life everyone thought him retarded, this or that. Suffering through being only able to say one word forever only to fulfill a single purpose created by someone who wasn't even born at the time. It's horrifically sad that he was only ever meant to do one thing, but even more sad that he managed to do it like a complete badass. I don't agree w/ the people saying that Hodor was warged in the present to do that... I think when he was young bran showed him his death and such a traumatic experience sent him into a shock..Hodor in the present just understood and sacrificed himself like Bran wanted him to. . which means not only did Hodor serve Bran, even when Bran basically asked him to die and ruined his whole life by doing it, Hodor still did the noble thing and died for Bran. :'(
What's even sadder is that this was probably the reason Hodor didn't like fights or got afraid every time Bran tried to warg into him, or he saw white walkers or fights. He probably remembered that strange memory he has of dying. He lived with the "memory" of his death for so long, it's horrifying.
Young Hodor having seizures and living his death was so soo sad. :(
I also felt a bit sad for Bran, he had no idea what was about to happen. Bloodraven did, which is why he took Bran to that moment then, and told him to listen to Meera, but Bran didn't and he looked so horrified when he realized that he was the reason Hodor became Hodor.
