  1. One thing about conspiracies in asoiaf is that some specific characters are accused of crimes they didn't commit to cause chaos and wars between great houses. We see this with tyrion for example where he is accused and arrested for sending assassins to kill bran and then chaos ensues and the lannisters and starks start a war against each other. This could possibly have been the case with rhaegar as well. Him being accused of kidnapping lyanna and the baratheons and starks starting a rebellion against house targaryen. 

    Rhaegar might actually be a red herring to the real father of lyanna's bastard (jon snow) and lyanna being a red herring to the real mother (ashara) of rhaegar's third child (dany). It makes much more sense for ashara to be the mother of rhaegar's third child not just because ashara has the oldest first men blood but because she was friends with both elia and probably rhaegar as well.

    Also I think it's very possible that rhaegar, elia and ashara were a love triangle and that ashara was the woman that rhaegar loved. Rhaegar giving the crown of roses to lyanna just so he doesn't have to choose between ashara and elia and end up causing conflicts between his wife and the woman he loves. rhaegar was a smart man, him giving the crown of roses to lyanna in front of everyone and insulting not only his wife but her family? Doesn't seem smart to me.

    Yes, the Targaryens have bonds with their dragons but there has been no evidence that the dragons influence their humans. The Targaryens are the most important and most studied family in the story and we have seen no instances of Dragonriders becoming more savage because of the bond. Let’s take Rhaenys, Visenya, and Aegon for example. They were a lot less violent than the lords they conquered. The Targaryens were very measured and appropriate when they responded to threats and violence. 

    The Starks and their wolves are another matter. Time and pages of the story have shown that the wolfbond cause the Starks to become more violent and more primal. The wolfbond is a mind bond as well as an emotional bond that travels in both directions. Rickon’s growing savageness and increasingly volatile moods is the perfect example. 

    Precisely!

  3. jon became lord commander through trickery. No one was going to vote for jon. Nobody would choose him because jon doesn't have the qualities of a leader. he was killed by his own men because he put his personal and selfish interests above the interests of the all. jon is a swordsman and the only thing he is good for is being on the battlefield with his sword being guided by a true leader like Dany.
