I think it is safe to say that we should't assume that he will return, considering that he specifically said that he wouldn't. It is not usual for actors to be LYING about things like this. If there was a possibillity for him to return next season, he would say some thing like "I don't know" or "maybe" or "we will see".

And to top it off, Kit Harrington has over numerous occations said that he wouldn't be on Game of Thrones forever, that he would rather pursue acting in movies. And considering Kit is now and international star he has the abillity to do that now.

Some people are just to fixated on the fact that he "might return" because they love him so much that they are forgetting that this is what happens in Game of Thrones when you choose honor/loyalty/love over being smart. Which are the reasons why both Ned and Robb are dead.

Even though Jon's decicion of rescuing the wildlings was the smartest move on the overall scale it wasn't the best move on his part.
