SPOILER QUOTED

Potentially big spoiler/theory:
After reading the books I had the idea that Jon Snow was actually the son of Ned’s sister (cant remember her name atm) and the Targaryan prince Rhaegar and the way they showed it in the TV show last night pretty much confirmed it. You’ll notice that he never calls Jon his son, he always says “he has my blood.” (GRRM did this in the book like 20 times before I noticed it) And the way they talked about Rhaegar and Neds Sister makes me think GRRM must have told the directors so they wouldn’t contradict themselves later on in the series after GRRM reveals it. Jon is gonna ride a dragon[/quote]
MORE SPOILER MAYBE
I am thinking Jon Snow is Robert Baratheon’s bastard. They keep saying “the seed is strong” and just think the Targaryeon’s are all blue eyed and white haired, the Lannisters are blonde, but the Baratheon’s are dark haired and dark eyed. Like the Starks also. But it would be something for that to dominate over the white hair and light eyes of the Targaryeon’s. I just don’t know why he would keep it a secret.[/quote]
No - Robert’s bastard was shown earlier in the season. He was the blacksmiths apprentice. His name is Gendry, and he’s got a part to play in all this yet.

Actually Robert has a lot of bastards and the former King’s Hand was tracking them down to prove “the seed is strong.”
If Jon Snow is a Targaryen then why doesn’t he have white hair and blue eyes?
I suppose we will find out in July after the last book comes out.

He has dark hair because of Stark genes. Same reason John Arryn/Ned knew that Joffrey/Tommen/whatever her name is are Jamie and Cersei’s kids. If they were Robert (black hair) and Cerseis (blonde), they would have turned out with dark hair. The other Targaryens are all blonde because they were a bunch of inbreeders, but Jon is a product of a Targaryen and a Stark.
I think “the seed is strong” is a reference to dark hair being the dominant gene compared to blonde.
And why would Roberts bastard be living with the Starks? He has a bunch of others and he’s already shown he doesn’t care about any of them. [/quote]
Hey it is just another theory. Where was it in the books that the Targaryen’s were in-breeders? I read the books but I didn’t remember that part.
He would live with the Starks he is also a Stark. I do concede that your theory wraps up why no one knows who Jon’s mother is and if he is part Targaryen why Eddard wouldn’t want to let Robert know because of how much he hates them.
we will see in July hopefully.
