Okay if you say so. But if Jon is the holy savior then Neds internal monologue regarding him doesn't make sense. It also makes no sense that he did so little for Jon but moved heaven and earth for Dany.

After i finished the first book, I went googling around looking for explanations for Ned's behavior (Ned's meeting with Cersei in the godswood was a turn-off for me). This is how i stumbled upon R+L=J. Gobsmacked. I then went back and read all of Ned's POVs to figure out what I'd missed. There's roughly 150 Ned POV pages, but really very little there. Just not much Jon in his internal monologue -- several thoughts that separate Jon from the kids; an opportunity or two to call Jon his son, but he doesn't. I guess we're left with Ned's honor sacrifice to protect Jon's true identity to be the ultimate sacrifice. For Dany, he was willing to sacrifice the position of Hand and Robert's friendship, but not his honor. I won't flip out if R+L=/=J, but I'm on-board with Jon being ice & fire.
