I too think that the Robert+Lyanna=Jon theory is probably incorrect. More than the proofs supplied here, it doesn't really seem to fit in with Martin's work. Of course that doesn't mean we can't talk about it!

Here's a crazy far-fetched theory. When Ned finds out about Cersei's incest with Jaime in AGOT, he doesn't really seem that disgusted. He's only concerned with Joffrey being illegitimate and therefore not an heir to the throne.

What if, and here's the big one, what if Jon is Ned and Lyanna's son? They seem to have had a strong relationship that went beyond mere brother and sister. It may fall apart if we think about timelines, as Ned's whereabouts were as well known as Robert's during the rebellion. It would certainly explain Lyanna wanting him to keep a secret.

Thoughts?
