So far my theory re: what Kaname's up to is that his endgame has always been to eliminate all purebloods. These plans ran into a serious snag when he ended up growing up with the Kurans and fell in love with Yuuki because they were the good purebloods (Though even Juri was pretty manipulative in the end, see: her deal-making with Kaien. It's just that her end was peace, not domination.). Meeting Juri, Haruka, and Yuuki momentarily derailed his plans because hey, nice purebloods. And then Rido killed them all.
And then the manga happens and, post-releasing Yuuki's memories and living with her, he's come to the conclusion that his pureblood endgame needs to get back on track, because all purebloods are universally unsafe and manipulative assholes -- a realization brought on by Sara killing Ouri-sama as well as Kaname's own, uh, not entirely safe intentions towards Yuuki.
In the process of getting rid of purebloods he intends to pave the way for Yuuki's rise to power by both destroying the worst resistance and setting himself up as a villain for all vampires to unite against. Hence taking credit for Sara's kills in order to be the greater villain and simultaneously attempt to drive Yuuki away from him. Though he's not above manipulating other people into doing the dirty work for him (re: setting up that Touma kid to be killed by Kaien); doesn't matter how the purebloods die, just that they do.
I think it's also possible though that setting Yuuki up as leader is meant to be a temporary measure to ensure her safety and Kaname's actual ultimate goal with regards to her is to commit suicide by sealing away her purebloodedness again. Or something.
So yes that is my theory... A bit light on the details but I haven't actually spent much time figuring this out so I was also trying to fit together Kaname's entire plan, not just his past few chapters plans. Hopefully it hangs together anyway. :Db
