Its not implausible that someone comes back from the dead because Thoros brought people back. It is meant to highlight that, much as it may be disliked for Jon's detractors, he is something special whether he's a royal bastard or heir. ''"There is power in king's blood." - Melisandre.'' And how many Kings have died since the series began? Power in King's blood my ass, "Do you really think the crown gives you power?" ~Tywin Lannister

The Bastard King will die soon, because obviously there is only power in Queen's blood.

While kings are not infallible and Jon Snow has absolutely no true lineal claim to the kingship of the North, the fact that he proves a threat of unknown magnitude to Dany's claim should not be ignored - its the reason why Ned Stark took him in in the first place.

I don't think Jon will die but if he is trueborn, Bran is unlikely to survive either. If he's a bastard, he is more expendable and Bran can return to claim the Stark lordship.
