It was Jon who fought battle and won back Winterfell. It was Jon who revenged Rob not Bran. Bestway for Jon to be Stark now is Sansa acknowledging him as Stark and show support. Jon, as king, can declare himself legitimate but it is just funny and will be his achilles, especially when Bran returns. Although, I don't think Bran would seek to be king Exactly. People think because Jon is King in the North, he's automatically head of House Stark. Jon is not a Stark. He wasn't named King because he was a Stark. They named him the "The White Wolf" because that is the sigil of the House Stark in reverse colors, the sigil of any Stark bastard.

Bran is definitely coming back, and he will be named Lord of Winterfell and House Stark. For Now, Sansa is officially the lord of House Stark, Jon is the "de facto" lord of House Stark since he isn't a Stark, for more reasons than one.
