Personally, I think Jon is dead and that's that. Sure Melisandre is currently at the wall and she does seemingly have the power to bring people back from the dead... But that's the thing: she doesn't. Thoros did, but he says he doesn't undertsand how, since he's performed the "Last Kiss" ritual on dead people before and it only ever resurrected Beric. It's not supposed to do that, it's a rite for the departed, not a resurrection spell.
