[GreenLantern]

I really liked the Reed angle, seemed to be someone that most people laughed at but Ned Stark really respected.

Anyone that Ned Stark respected must be a good man. I have a feeling the Reed family is yet to play a part in the story.

My theory is that, Jon Snow is in fact going to rise again as the red priest god or whatever, and he will be a major player in this story. But, he isn't the son of a Targaryen. He was a decoy ####### given to Ned Stark by his sister to draw attention away from her real son, who was given to Howlen Reed and taken to his castle. That is why they are mentioned and in the book so we have some back story, but we don't know much about Howlen or his castle yet. They will come into play at a later date.
