As the master of information and a seeker of arcane knowledge, Varys undoubtedly knows the connection between dragons and magic. I think that his is a game to put Dany on top, so that he will have unlimited power vis a vis dragon magic, forever.
and i know you could argue Varys knows what he knows because of his little birds. but if i recall, he was one of (if not) the first person in westeros to know (or sense/feel) that the dragons have returned. and thats only relevant because we know that dragons = magic, and while he wouldnt sense the dragons, he would be able to feel the magic returning to the world and put two and two together.

i dont know if i mentioned this earlier or not, but just in case i did not, we have some info from GRRM's website about book 6. we now KNOW Ramsay's letter to Jon was bullshit, because we know that Stannis is alive now. which means we dont know if he has Mance or not. he could have skinned a woman until she spilled the beans about Mance. we also KNOW that Theon and Jeyne Poole made it to Stannis, and that Stannis has sent Jeyne to the wall as a gift to Jon (Stannis thinks Jeyne is Arya) for telling him to get the northern tribes before walking into the karstark/bolton trap. However, in Jons current situation, he will be hard for him to say thats not the real Arya.

we also know that book 6 is going to start off with two big battles. one has to be for Mereen as that was left unanswered with too many powerhouse characters in the area. but then the second battle has absolutely got to be Stannis and company versus Winterfell and the Boltons. i feel the Manderlys will also join Stannis, but theres nothing on GRRMs site about it.

also i think the tv show, season 3, will end with the red wedding. its really the only decent stopping point near the middle of book3, and if they stick to their guns about splitting the book into two seasons, well i just dont see another place to end the season while keeping people happy/immersed.
