Everyone has their Ideas of who will end up on the Iron Throne in the end so I am now going to take the time to explain my predictions.
In the end I think it will be Jon Snow who will take the crown. (I know, I know. he is a bastard) My reasons for this is that it just makes sense and there are little things which happen in the books which piece together that this is what will happen.
To start with, it is known that Jon is not Ned's son. So why would he look after him for 17 years knowing that it isn't his? One reason: He is not his son but in fact, his nephew!
That is right! Jon Snow is the son of Lyanna which explains why Ned offered to look after him through his childhood. Another reason for this is that fact that he must be related to the Starks (Ned in particular) in some way as in the first book it is mentioned that Jon looks very much like Ned does so there is a family resemblance. I know it is said that Wylla is the mother of Jon and I have an explanation for that too which will come in due course.
Now that the mother has been established, it is time to speculate on the father and why he will be king. I know that there is the thought that Jon is the son of Lyanna and Rhaegar but I just do not think this is right. Would Ned look after Rhaegars son? I don't think so!
We all know that Robert and Lyanna were in love, right? So it could of been possible that they got married before the war and Lyanna had a child? (Jon!!) Maybe this explains where his black hair comes from? We all know that Targaryen children have white hair so it cannot be possible for Jon to be Rhaegars son. But the black hair could be from his Baratheon father?
So now it is time to talk about Wylla (The supposed mother of Jon). Obviously she is not the mother so where does she fit into all of this? Simple! In the third book, we are able to meet Edric Storm who is a bastard of Roberts who managed to get away. (He is replaced in the show with Gendry who stays behind during the travels to do work in the books) Edric mentions to Arya that Jon was his "Milk brother" as Wylla was his wet nurse. Wait?! Does this mean that Wylla is the wet nurse of Jon too? I think it does! Surely if Edric (Roberts bastard son) and Jon (Roberts legitimate son) were taken care of by the same wet nurse this would explain that they both had a connection to Robert.
If only poor Catelyn knew about this before she dies maybe she wouldn't hate Jon so much.
