-If Ned did take in the bastard as his own true child, child would be Jon Stark, not Jon Snow
-Robert Baratheon blames the death of his true love Lyanna Stark at the hands of Prince Targaryen, and Ned never defends this arguement
-There has to be a reason why Ned would take in this child into the family with no questions asked, unless the child is family some how
-There is a reason why Ned did not tell anyone (including Jon), who the mother is to keep Jon's background unknown or his true identity protected
-There has to be a good reason why Jon's identity needs to be protected in fear of possible bloodlines and associated family retributions for various sources
-Lyanna Stark died while being captive of the Targaryens as per Robert's rage against them
-the books describe Jon Snow with very strong Stark-like appearance and features, even more than Ned's other kids
My own theory: Jon Snow is Jon Targaryen
(son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark) mother probably died during child birth and Ned must keep Jon's identity secret from everyone, especially his own friend and king Robert Baratheon.
Since the writer never did write about Jon Snow's true background yet, this is all just wild guess at this point.
This is my fravorite theory, it just makes so much sense. Why else would the Kingsguard be in Dorne so far away from the king if not to protect Rhaegar's heir? Ned Stark found Lyanna bleeding to death in a bed before making a promise with her. There are lots of reasons for a woman to die bleeding in bed but with everything put together including the Kingsguard and Ned's promise it just seems right.
I think Jon and Dany are going to end up being the two pivotal people in the story. There are 3 dragons... One for each of them, and one for Bran who I think also gets in on the action either through being family or his warg-ness.
