Stannis is the one who orignally brings up the idea that the children aren't Roberts.
"I did not keep silent," Stannis declared. "I brought my suspicions to Jon Arryn."
He goes to Arryn about it. As to whether or not Stannis was tipped off about it...there's always this:
(Tyrion is speaking to Varys)
"He (Stannis) accuses my brother and sister of incest. I wonder how he came by that suspicion."
"Perhaps he read a book and looked at the color of a *******'s hair, as Ned Stark did, and Jon Arryn before him. Or, perhaps, someone whispered it in his ear." The eunuch's laugh was not his usual goggle, but deeper and more throaty.
"Someone like you, perchance?"
"Am I suspected? It was not me."
So, if you're to believe Varys....
The real shame for the Starks is Robert's comment about how Bran should be killed. If he doesn't make that, Joffery doesn't hire the assassin to kill Bran, Cat (who's already suspicious of the Lannisters because of the letter from Lysa implicating them in Arryn's death), doesn't take Tyrion hostage, Tywin doesn't call his bannerman and march and Ned doesn't get hurt in his fight with Jamie. You'd almost wonder if Cersei would have been so bold to kill Robert if Tywin wasn't marching for war. If Robert lived....so would have Ned.
