My only problem with the theory is that I think Tywin would have almost certainly figured it out and would have found a way to sneak an assassin up to Winterfell to kill Jon.

A. Jon doesn't have the Targaryean "look" (which may also point away from him actually being Rhaegar's son)

B. Only Ned and Howland Reed survived the battle - there was no one left alive to even tell of a live born child.

C. More reason for Ned to concoct a story to make the child his.

D. Without the look and with Ned's support of Robert as King (and, therefore Tywin's grandchildren as royal heirs) - Tywin may have decided to let sleeping wolves lie.

Maybe, heck probably, but he is pro Targaryean - if something doesn't work out with Dany or Young Griff, Jon is his "Targaryean" in the hole.

The Targs gene is weak though right? The kids usually looked like the other parent. That's why targ+targ= silver same with Lannisters

I highly doubt he is. Doesn't make sense for him to have played Rhaegar and Aerys against each other, and then send Dany and Vicerys to their almost certain deaths. Varys now only has an interest in Dany because of her dragons. Really going to Slaver's Bay instead of Pentos probably saved Dany's life. He's merely using the Targaryen name to seat Aegon.
