I am almost positive that Sansa and Jon are going to meet again. They are the only 2 of the Stark kids who we never really saw have a dialogue in AGOT. And Sansa's changed a lottttt.

quote:

Frog-faced Lord Slynt sat at the end of the council table wearing a black velvet doublet and a shiny cloth of gold cape, nodding with approval every time the king pronounced a sentence. Sansa stared hard at his ugly face, remembering how he had thrown down her father for Ser Ilyn to behead, wishing she could hurt him, wishing that some hero would throw him down and cut off his head. But a voice inside her whispered, There are no heroes. (Sansa VI, AGOT)
[Sansa] had not thought of Jon in ages. He was only her half-brother, but still… With Robb and Bran and Rickon dead, Jon Snow was the only brother that remained to her. I am a bastard, too, now, just like him. Oh, it would be so sweet, to see him once again. But, of course, that could never be. Alayne Stone had no brothers, baseborn or otherwise. (Sansa III, Alayne II, AFFC)


I definitely believe that Ned is the Dumbledore/Obi Wan Kenobi to ASOIAF...he wasn't meant to live for the whole series, and I really like that comparison of Ned to Dumbledore, in that Harry had to fight Voldemort himself; Dumbledore guided him and prepared him for it though. Kind of similar to Obi Wan and Luke as well.

I could definitely see Jon 'meeting' Ned while he is unconscious, like Harry Potter met Dumbledore when he was 'dead'. He had a choice to either die or go back, and he chose to go back and defeat Voldemort. Not sure if this is GRRM's style, but I could see Jon meeting Ned and finding out some truths, but not readily accepting them. I think Bran will meet/see Ned in the next book and possibly find out about Jon's parentage.


The Stark line is going to once again rely on the female line to continue on, similar to the Bael the Bard story.

I just started my third reread of the series and couldn't help but smile knowing what ended up happening.
