Just finished a reread of AGOT and the part where mirri maz duur is using blood magic to resurrect Drogo there are shadows dancing one of a Great Wolf and the other a man wreathed in flames. I was wondering if anyone else thought these were supposed to represent Jon Snow? anyone else think that or come to that conclusion?
I'm sure this has been brought up before like everything else on these forums but i couldn't really find anything on it with a simple google search.

I assume the man wreathed in flames would refer to Jon's ressurection by Mel's fire magic? When I read the wolf I did think "Stark?"

yes i either thought "the man wreathed in flames" is jon's eventual ressurection by Mel or Stannis' relationship with Mel.

The shadows are probably the dead and the great wolf is more than likely Ned Stark chapters not necessarily flowing in chronological order, man wreathed in fire is harder, maybe Dondarrion before he is resurrected but Danys time line would be quite skewed for it to be one of Mels sacrifice

There are 6 direwolves in ASOIAF till now, and plenty of people who are burnt alive (including Rattleshirt, Stannis's Hand and Miri Maz Duur herself). But I can not see a connection to Jon here (I'm also re-reading GOT now, but I'm only at the second Ned's chapter - so maybe your point will be proven in Danny's last chapter, I dunno...).

Maybe the shadows were of Ned's brother and father.
I think that someone called Brandon the real wolf of Winterfell
and Aerys burned Rickard Stark.

The man wreathed in flames is wighted Othor when Jon throws the burning drapes on him, and the wolf is Ghost.

The first thing I thought of was that it foreshadowed the rise of the two kings Robb Stark and Stannis Baratheon. But then where was Renly and Balon?
Later I came to the conclusion it might represent the Old Gods and the Lord of Light.

What is Mirri magic? We don't know for sure if she adores the old or the new gods. Maybe its none of them either.
I don't think the wolf and the man in flames could mean some event to happen in further books. Mirri doesn't has this kind of power, does she?
True to be told, I don't think it has any special meaning
