Daenerys Targaryen is the aunt of Jon Snow theory
During the tourney at Harrenhal that was hosted by Lord Walter Whent to celebrate the name day of his maiden daughter, the Starks met Howland Reed who was bullied by rowdy squires. Lyanna Stark annoyed by their behavior tried to protect him and later disguised as a mystery challenger, known as the Knight of the Laughing Tree entered the joust to defend the honor of Howland Reed by challenging and defeating the three knights whose squires were the once that bullied him. After that the knight disappeared and an angry king Aerys, who was certain that the man was his enemy, sent Rhaegar to search for the vanished knight, but Rhaegar reported that only his shield could be found, abandoned in a tree.
My theory is that though the knight's identity remains unknown, Rhaegar actually found that Lyanna was the Knight of the Laughing Tree but he didn't wish to give her identity away, from fear of his father. Still he was so impressed by her that after winning the tournament, Rhaegar gave her the winter rose instead of his wife, not to crown her queen of love and beauty but out of respect because he felt that she should win the tournament. This gesture however was misinterpreted by most of the crowd, as Lyanna was engaged to Robert Baratheon and Rhaegar was married to Ellia Martell.
After that Lyanna and Rhaegar gradually fell in love. Lyanna, sharing the personality of Aria, was never happy by her engagement with Robert Baratheon, as she felt that Robert was only attracted to her beauty while Rhaegar loved her for her boldness, her rebel spirit and all those things a Lady is forbidden to be. My theory is that they shared a night together after the tournament. It is difficult to imagine them having secretly formed a relationship, if you think the miles that separated them.
However after that night Lyanna was pregnant and desperate to protect her child from her fiancee she sent a raven to Rhaegar. Rhaegar found it out and in order to protect her and their child he convinced her to run away with him before her belly showed any signs of pregnancy. Lyanna's family not knowing anything though thought that Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna, for reasons unknown and this action led her angry fiancee Robert to start a war, accompanied by the Starks.
Howland Reed fought alongside Eddard Stark during Robert's Rebellion, and he accompanied Eddard to the Tower of Joy to reclaim Eddard's abducted sister Lyanna, who mysteriously died at that time covered in blood.My theory is that Lyanna died while giving birth to John Snow, the son of Rhaegar and made Eddard to promise her not to uncover his identity to anyone because Robert would kill the child. Howland is apparently the only remaining person to have witnessed the mysterious events that took place in the tower that day and therefore the only person that knows who were the true parents of Jon Snow.
