Ashara Dayne very well could be Jon Snow's mother. Or maybe even Lyanna. But that timeline doesn't add up.
We know very little about Benjen. We do know he gave some fatherly advice to Jon Snow before he went off to the Wall. And we suspect he held Winterfell during Roberts Rebellion. But we have no idea why he went to the Wall and joined the night Watch.
I know all signs point to Lyanna and Rhaegar as his father but now that just seems way too obvious and I think since it's been unknown for 5 books now that GRRM will want that to be a huge shock to readers

In an interview, Alfie Allen (actor who plays Theon Greyjoy) said he asked GRRM about Jon Snow's parentage:
"You know, I asked him about who Jon Snow's real parents were, and he told me. I can't say who, but I can tell you that it involves a bit of a Luke Skywalker situation. It will all come to fruition eventually. The whole thing with all the fight over proper succession is partly inspired by the War of the Roses in the late 1400s, and back then, to ensure pedigree, the monarchies were kind of inbred. It's definitely fricked up, but it definitely happened back then, so that's why there's incest with the Targaryen line. It's toned down, though."
