I'm speculating that Melisandre may believe that Jon is TPTWP, not that he actually is. The Jon sample chapter on GRRM's website is the impetus for this idea (based on my interpretation on the dialogue). My idea is that she is moving from Stannis to Jon, possibly because she has seen a future with Jon and Dany's dragons and mistakenly starts to view Jon as Azor Ahai.
