Re: The Official Game of Thrones [A Song of Ice and Fire] Thread
I think because it seems so obvious it won't be her. Remember, in the House of the Undying Rhaegar mentions that Aegon is the Prince that was Promised, and that his was the song of ice and fire. Well, Aegon is (probably) dead, and why would the son of a Targaryen and a Martell, or for that matter the daughter of two Targs (Dany) have the song of ice and fire? It makes no sense.
Jon, however, is more than likely the son of a Targaryen and a Stark (this isn't a spoiler...Jon's mother has not been revealed in the books as of yet). That sounds a lot more like ice and fire to me.
For what it's worth, I think Dany will end up doing more harm than good when she comes to Westeros. I think she'll end up almost as an antagonist before it's all said and done.
I'd still bet it's Dany that is Azor Ahai. I think people keep digging when the answer is obvious. The day the red star was in the sky she literally sat in a fire all night and dragons were born around her. It's her.

Plus, we got that scene at the end of dance where there is salt, smoke, and a dying star. And, unlike Dany, Jon actually (probably) dies, which means he can be (literally) reborn. I also think that the "waking dragons from stone" is metaphorical, and that Jon will find the truth about who he is in the crypts of Winterfell.

She and Aegon are basically destined to throw down, and a lot of people will die as a result. In fact, I think it would be perfectly ironic if she ends up destroying the Water Gardens in Dorne, as the first Danaerys was the one who built them, and Doran is desperately concerned with protecting the children in Dorne.
