Azor Ahai (SEASON FIVE FINALE SPOILERS)

[Shorty]

I'd like to open up discussion on what possible reasons Jon's character serves better dead than alive. Is he being used as a plot device? For whom? What possible purpose could his death hold for the series?

The more I think about it, I think he really and truly is Azor Ahai. Stannis was never reborn admist smoke and salt. Danaerys was only metaphorically "reborn". Jon Snow has the potential to actually be reborn. Beric Dondarrion is a testament to the Red God's power, and Melisandre is surely a more potent instrument of the god than Thoros of Myr.

According to the prophecy recounted by Melisandre, after a long summer, Azor Ahai will be reborn amidst smoke and salt wielding the flaming sword Lightbringer to defend the world from R'hllor's nemesis, the Other.

It seems dead on to be him. Furthermore, this could come into play with a twist of words in saying, "Jon Snow is dead" - but if he is reborn, he would instead be Azor Ahai! So he very well could be dead and resurrected as another being.

Thoughts? Who else could it possibly be? What purpose could Jon's death serve? He wasn't a no-name character whose story was going nowhere. He hasn't served his purpose in the series. What sense does it make for him to commit to the Night's Watch, serve as leader, unite the wildlings and men of the Watch and then... die? It makes no sense. None at all. Because at this time, with Stannis and Jon both being dead, we have no main POV at Castle Black.

Speculate with me!
