For sure Melisandre is up to something with Jon. Stannis is gone to Deepwood Motte in order to attack Ramsay Bolton who has taken the castle. She tries to get close to Jon and he pushes her away at first. There is another girl - Val - who was Mance Rayder's wife's sister, and Jon has a special relationship with her. But gradually Jon and Melisandre get a little bit friendlier. SHE thinks he is Azhor Asshai reborn because she saw it in her flames! (But you know she is always WRONG about how she interprets what is in her flames!)
Jon has become the Lord Commander of the Wall, but in the process has made some enemies. At a very bad time, right at the end of Book Five, Jon is attacked and stabbed four or five times. It looks like he might be dead, but we are left not knowing...
There are a couple of possibilities...he is calling for Ghost, the direwolf, before he collapses, and perhaps he will 'shapeshift' into Ghost. Or Melisandre could save him somehow, with her red magic. It is possible she could 'transform' him into her beloved Azhor Asshai. We know Jon has always been the biggest mystery.
In an interview later, GRRM was asked, "Why did you kill Jon Snow?" and GRRM replied, "Do you REALLY think he is dead?"
There is much hope! And let's hope it won't be another 20 years before the next book is published!
