Just because this person said A or that person said B in regards to Jon's parents doesn't make any of it true - the only thing we know is that one of his parents is a Stark (because of his stated looks)

When Arya ran into Lord Beric she met up with Edric Dayne, who was Jon's "milk brother" (he was nursed by Jon's mother). But even that doesn't mean that the woman mentioned was Jon's real mother.

Suppose Jon's "mother" (as Edric Dayne) knew her had a baby who died or was stillborn and Jon was substituted to protect him.

The thing I keep coming back to is that Ned, being a man of honour, probably wouldn't have taken Jon home and let him live with catelyn - remember Catelyn said that was very rare, and Ned's honour probably would have been satisfied if he provided for Jon's well-being. The only thing that would trump that, imo, is his promise to Lyanna, whatever that promise may have been.
