And I'll go as far as to predict he assumes command of the Wildlings because he'll need an army to do some conquering (and build a coalition to fight the Walkers). While there may not be many fighters left in that bunch, there's probably enough to go to Winterfell where probably at least half of the Boltons' forces will simply turn to fight for Jon. Also, isn't his brother's army still out there somewhere or had they joined Stannis?
After Drogon gets off his lazy butt to swoop in to eat a few Dothraki, Dany's army will grow by thousands. And after taking Winterfell, does Jon avenge his adopted family to clean up the scraps from the Dorne/Westerios war? Maybe Jon doesn't want to rule, which makes for an easy compromise with Dany when he assumes command of the armies.
All my own speculation - I haven't read any of the books. I wonder how Arya factors in, or if she's just a cool, tangential PoV not particularly important to the larger story.
When it comes to Jon, those that read books have been at this cliffhanger for years now. All evidence from the books, show, and Martin himself suggests Jon will not remain dead for long. Also if he would actually be dead forever, Martin will alienate much of the fanbase, and will get slammed review wise.
