I think, regardless, he is going to lead the Wildlings on Winterfell.

Also interesting to read the story of Azor Ahai...and how the hero forges a flaming sword from plunging it into the heart of his wife(?).  Makes me wonder if a spin wouldn't be Dany doing that to one of her two suitors.

The other interesting thing is they say Dany is supposed to be his aunt in the book.  I suppose that's technically possible if there's a long age gap between her and Jon's mom....but otherwise in the show she's appears to be roughly the same age.

Rhaegar was 24 at the time of his death. Viserys, the middle kid, was 8, and Dany wasn't born yet. Their mom was sent to Dragonstone with Viserys when she was pregnant with Dany after they found out that Rhaegar was killed.

At the time Rhaegar was killed, Lyanna had been with him for nearly a year, so in that time it wouldn't be a stretch that she got pregnant and had him. Jon was born around the time of the end of the war and Dany was born months after the year ended, so Jon is slightly older than her. 

They are at most a year apart in age. Most of the characters are far younger in the books than they are on the show. Ned is 35 when he is killed in the books. Robb and Jon are 15, Dany is 14. Sansa is 12, Arya is 9, and Bran is 8.
