The line of procession for a Throne is father to son/daughter (or eldest sibling depending if there is no children). Rheagar would have taken the Iron Throne from Aerys but they both died before it could be given to him. Nonetheless, Jon Snow is the son of the heir, the Mad King's eldest son, does that mean the Iron Throne is his right? Who knows? There are multiple factors: Daenerys is a "pure Targaryen" and Jon is a half Stark, half Targaryen bastard and why would he abandon Winterfell to go to King's Landing with the incoming White Walker invasion? It remains to be seen, I suppose.

Now, if this is correct and by some mystical force in the world and Jon learns about his parentage and decides to sieze it from Cersei or whatever, what would that do to Daenerys? The Throne she obsessed over for six years is not hers and with the dreaded Targaryen Madness could her character do a complete 180 spin and she becomes like her father? Again, it remains to be seen. Just putting it out there, it's gonna be a good year.
