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. I agree with this. Bran is the rightful King in the North and Lord of Winterfell. Both Sansa and Jon know he is alive and neither of them gave a response to the bannermen trying to proclaim Jon KITN. So it seems like the debate should be between Bran and Jon as head of House Stark, but should lean toward Bran since the line of succession leans in his favor. Just exactly how Jon and Sansa knew that Bran is alive if they didn't talk about him at all this season and neither did anyone else? Ramsay and Rickon knew that Bran was alive but Ramsay saw to that and made sure the Bastard and her sister doesn't know what Rickon knows, and well following Ramsay's execution so died their last piece of knowledge that their brother Bran is still alive. Jon foun out that Bran was alive and beyond the Wall from Sam. Sansa found out that Bran was alive from Theon. In her conversation with Jon when he got Ramsay's letter, she used Bran, as well as Arya and Rickon, as reasons they needed to take Winterfell back for their family. So yes, they both know Bran is alive and he legally comes before both of them in the line of succession.
