So I am pretty certain any fan of the books and/or show already knows the popular theory that Jon Snow is not Ned's son but is the son of his Sister Lyanna Stark and Rheagar Targaryan. R+L=J if you will.
And alot of the hints kinda indicate that it is all but certain to be true.
But then I have thought of the one thing that might debunked this theory entirely.
For one Jon Snow certainly does not look like a son of Lyanna and Rheagar, specifically how both people were described.
Lyanna is said to have Northern Red hair which all Starks and or Northern born peoples have and Rheagar has silver blonde hair which is something always associated with Targaryan blood. And both most likely have blue eyes.
But Jon has Dark Brown/Black hair and Dark Brown/Black Eyes, nothing in relation to Stark or Targaryan traits.
And in this show seed is strong and you can tell who a person is by their looks and appearence. Such as Lannisters always having Golden Blonde hair (which is what Ned Stark deduced when finding out that Joffery is not a true Baratheon)
Heck in the books they keep describing as Jon looking more and more like Ned himself, to quote his wife's thoughts:
"Whoever Jon's mother had been, Ned must have loved her fiercely, for nothing Catelyn said would persuade him to send the boy away. It was the one thing she could never forgive him. She had come to love her husband with all her heart, but she had never found it in her to love Jon. She might have overlooked a dozen bastards for Ned's sake, so long as they were out of sight. Jon was never out of sight, and as he grew, he looked more like Ned than any of the trueborn sons she bore him. Somehow that made it worse"
So unless people can explain why Jon has Dark Hair and iris this could debunk the theory for me.
