I'm thinking Benjen may have known and told Aemon of it.



I definitely think Benjen knew about Jon's parentage. Not sure if Aemon knew or not

I'm not saying he "knew", but he was a sharp guy. It had to have crossed his mind.

I think so too.

I'm really doubtful that he did for the following reasons:

1) In his fever dreams before dying he talked a lot of Daenerys, her dragons, and that Melisandre is wrong about Stannis being Azor Ahai that it's likely instead Dany. I think had he known Jon Snow is who he is, that he would've thought it was possible that Jon could be Azor Ahai.

2) It was Aemon's idea for himself and Val's baby to be removed from The Wall and Melisandre's reach because of their "King's blood". If he thought Jon Snow was the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna he would've been vocal about that knowing that Melisandre is executing people with King's blood to empower Stannis.

Now that's not to say he didn't think Jon Snow was something special and definitely different from your run of the mill bastard.
