I agree with your list. Since I started my series rewatch a few weeks ago, I think it's weird that Jeor gave a bastard (albeit a noble bastard) his family's Valyrian steel sword. He could've easily sent it back to Bear Island with Maege and her daughters. Would love to see Jorah's reaction to learning his father gave the sword to Jon.

I have no doubts about Aemon knowing. Didn't the passage in the Jade Compendium that Jon read was about Azor Ahai? We know that Aemon tells Sam that he believes Dany to be Azor Ahai Reborn, but perhaps upon leaving the NW in AFFC, maybe he thought it was Jon instead??

The key to all of this I believe is Selmy. He served under Aerys and from what he has been telling Dany he knew Rhaegar surprisingly well, even though he wasn't considered a "close" friend. The more we find out about Rhaegar the more the SoIaF will be sung. I think the reason Rhaegar talked to Aemon so much is because of Aemon's maestership. Rhaegar knew that Aemon could give him counsel without opening his mouth. But somewhere along Rhaeger trying to fullfil the prophecy he knew it would cost him his life. Selmy talks about Rhaegar being born under a shadow of grief that hung over him all his life.

Also there's this: Selmy talks about Rhaegar going to Summerhall by himself and sleeping in the ruins, but always coming back with a song that was about himself and his family and they were always melancholy. The dwarf woman/green seer/child of the forest at Heart Hill tells Arya that she is a blood child and that she had fed on enough grief at Summerhall. My question is, what the hell is at Summerhall other than maybe the ghost of the Targaryans that died their? What fasinated Rhaegar so much to go there so often? Is there one more egg still sitting there hidden? BTW these chapters are right next to each other.

Lastly, I noticed, after Jon is escapes the wildlings in the Gift and he stops to rest, he wonders, how he was able to fight off the wildling with sword in hand and mount the horse with a saddle. Sounds familiar to Lyanna. So to me of there was any doubt about Lyanna being his mother, that just threw it out the window.
