Who are Jon Snow's parents? -- spoilers

[King Joffrey Baratheon]

Jon was burned by fire....Jon is not a dragon.

I have to agree about who Jon's parents are, or at least who his mother is. My only question is why did Ned not tell at least Catelyn who Jon's parents were? Why keep it a secret?

Ah, ha ha. Another riddle. To protect Jon because Lyanna could have made Ned swear to keep him safe and the only way to keep him safe--with the blood of Rhaegar in him, was to keep his heritage a secret. If Robert B. found out it was Rhaegar's child, he would forget Lyanna's part in it and would most likely kill him. Others would seek to kill him or place him upon the throne. Too risky. Best way to make it is as Eddard Stark's b*****d.

Probably because if a Targaryen was found to be living their would probably be a bit of a fiasco, prolly why that other one was squirrelled away. There could still be a chance that it'll be revealed, howland reed was the other survivor of the fight and he's still alive

Many other Targaryens were burned by fire. Viserys and Aerion Brightflame to name two. And not even Dany is completely immune, just resistant.

True, but I still I can not shake that he is not their child. I can not see Ned tolerating his wife treating Jon like crap...if that was his sister's only child. One could say to protect him from Robert's wrath...I don't know.

[Elyria Stone]

Now that's a fantastic hypothesis!

You know, that a rather important theory. I haven't read that far, but I've ran across certain interesting facts like Why is the Kingsguard watching Lyanna instead of guarding the King as they bowed to? And someone noticed that Ned thinks of Jon as "my blood" rather than "my son"

And some consider this grounds for Jon to be One of the Three Heads of the Dragon with Daenerys and someone else

Prince Rhaegar

I did love Lyanna very much, so I won't deny the possibility of Snow being our child....

Another thought to consider... If Jon Snow is indeed my child, is it possible that he is the one born of the prophecies, and not my sister Daenerys?

Brother, is it all really true?

Well Robert would have wanted him dead if he knew. Also there are many others in the world that would have gladly killed him as well. Their bloodlines are full of people who are crazy....many people did not like the Targaryens....
Also Ned is a man of honor if his sister asked him not to tell....he wouldn't.

I cannot deny or confirm it, my sister. I would hate to spoil the surprise for everyone!

But you know what, since so many people have guessed that the parents are Lyanna and Rhaegar, GRRM is gonna be like 'HAHAHA! You're all wrong, bitches!' and throw us all for a loop.

Or he won't actually reveal it. A d**k move, sure, but possible.

That is true! Why must he be the Lord's Commander of the Night's Watch? It is going to be hard to get any sort of message to him let alone trying to go to him...
He must be told! If he really is part of the Prophecy & my nephew I must go to him!

I hope we find out soon, if he is a Targaryen & a part of the Prophecy I must go to him somehow...
