Am I the only one who doesn't want Melisandre's story to intertwine with Jon Snow's? I mean, if it means to resurrect him, by all means do it because I'd really prefer Jon to be alive... but I never really wanted her story to combine with his. Even if some of those prophecies are true, I never really liked the "Lord of Light" idea - well, it's a good idea, but I never thought of him being the one true god in GoT. That's a personal opinion though; I never got used to the mythological storylines, other than the white walkers and dragons. I always preferred the political dramas, battles, and whatnot. However, once again, if it means saving Jon Snow, so be it.

If I recall correctly, despite the show going off in different plot directions than the books, they're both going to end the same way. From an interview with David Benioff:

"And so we’ll eventually, basically, meet up at pretty much the same place where George is going; there might be a few deviations along the route, but we’re heading towards the same destination."

If Jon Snow is dead in the show permanently, then he won't play a big role in the books probably. I have the same thinking with Stannis, his wife and Shireen; they'll probably die in the next book, it just won't happen as abruptly as it did in the show. I'm hoping that Jon Snow is saved somehow.
