in the books robb legimtized jon because he thought that bran was dead,so sucession only lay with jon snow.

And personnaly i think that jon will allow bran to become king as it is his right. Yeah, I understand the inheritance of the "King in the North" title. I was more concerned with the titles of Jon being the Lord of Winterfell and House Stark. Sansa is the Lady of Winterfell on HBO Viewer's Guide. Jon Snow, who's King in the North, doesn't have the Stark name. Based on that, Sansa is (officially, behind Bran) the Lord of House Stark and is backing Jon's reign. This makes Jon House Stark's sovereign, not their lord. The Starks are still alive and one is present. As long as they are present, Jon isn't officially the Lord of House Stark or Winterfell. No, Jon is not the lord of house stark/winterfell. Robb was king of the trident, but Edmure was still the Lord of Riverrrun and Lord Paramount of the Trident. Robb was Edmure's king and ruled from the Riverrun castle for quite a while, but that was never his castle. The same thing goes for Jon. He'll probably rule from Winterfell because it is the "capitol" of the north and well, it is kinda his home too. But the castle and lady/lordship belongs to sansa, until bran comes along.
