My theory as to why Wylis (Hodor) can only speak the words 'Hodor' is based on the R + L= J theory being true. I think that Hodor witnessed Rhaegar Targaryen & Lyanna "together". Maybe this happened at the stables since we saw in Bran's vision Lyanna seemed fond of riding & Hodor was a stable boy, Far fetched? If this could be true then possibly Rhaegar Targaryen saw that Hodor had seen them and intended to kill him to prevent him from telling anyone. However in Bran's vision it is obvious that Lyanna was fond of Hordor (Wylis) so she could have begged Rhaegar to spare him. So then to ensure Wylis did not tell anyone Rhaegar possibly got some magic involved which led to Wylis only ever being able to say Hodor. I wonder what everyone else thinks? Btw i've not read the books yet so i'm just basing it off the tv show + learing about the R+L=J theory. Also i just made this theory up 5mins after watching the episode :P
