What are you suggesting? That the Stark line is destined to lead the Others in battle? I'm curious, because that would throw the biggest curveball possible. All we hear is how honorable Winterfell is and everyone loves the Starks and pulls for them.

Then in true GRRM style, "just kidding guys, the family bloodline has a connection to the evil zombie army." What would even be more of a mindfrick would be if he went that route, then painted the Others out as something more important than mindless zombies. Maybe make them have an actual purpose that isn't evil.

There are about 50 versions of the "heresy" threads on westeros.org, so it's hard to summarize.

There are a countless theories which may paint the Starks of the past as having a darker history than we are led to believe. I'd say most are crackpot, but there is a lot of discussion on the North/Old Gods/First Men.

As for the Starks leading the Others, yes that is one theory I suppose, but not one I believe. I don't know much of the actual theory though

Also, Martin has already said that "there is no good or evil" or something like that in asoiaf. But then we get shitheads like Joffrey and Ramsay. If Ramsay ain't "evil" then I don't know what it is
