re: Game of Thrones Re-Read/Re-Watch Project (Multiple Book Spoilers)

From the prologue I am definitely of the opinion that the Others are bringing the cold. I don't think it is so much a temperature thing as it is a darkness/absence of life type of result of their presence.

Bran I
I caught on something here from the children's encounter with the direwolves. Bran and John have immediate connections with them whereas no mention is made of Robb, Rickon, or the two girls. This was in response to
Theon drawing his sword to kill the pups, starting to Summer.

The little thing squirmed against him, as if it heard and understood. "No!" Brand cried out fiercly. "It's mine."

Summer is already reacting to Bran's emotions moments after coming into contact with him.

"Can't you hear it?" Bran could hear the wind in the trees, the clatter of their hooves on the ironwood planks, the whimpering of his hungry pup, but Jon was listening to something else.

Jon is the only one in the party who new Ghost was there. Not even Bran could sense him. So based off of this I came to two conclusions. Jon and Bran have the most power as far as Wargs go. All the children are specifically linked to their direwolves from the start. Each one was meant for a specific child, not just the albino Ghost.
